Tidal disruption events and quasi‐periodic eruptions
Astronomische Nachrichten, 2023 Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star passes close to a massive black hole so that the tidal forces of the black hole exceed the binding energy of a star and cause it to be ripped apart. Part of the matter will fall onto the black hole, causing a strong increase in luminosity.

Tidal flares and rates from an archival cluster survey
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 Tidal disruption flares (TDFs) are potent indicators of the co-evolution of galaxies and the massive black holes (MBHs) which they host in their nuclei, both in terms of the individual black holes revealed by tidal flares and in terms of the overall ...

Challenges in the modeling of tidal disruption events lightcurves [PDF]
, 2012 In this contribution, I review the recent developments on the modeling of the lightcurve of tidal disruption events. Our understanding has evolved significantly from the earlier seminal results that imply a simple power-law decay of the bolometric light ...

MEASUREMENT OF THE RATE OF STELLAR TIDAL DISRUPTION FLARES [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2014 We report an observational estimate of the rate of stellar tidal disruption flares (TDFs) in inactive galaxies, based on a successful search for these events among transients in galaxies using archival SDSS multi-epoch imaging data (Stripe 82). This search yielded 186 nuclear flares in galaxies, of which two are excellent TDF candidates. Because of the

Modelling tidal energy extraction in a depth-averaged coastal domain [PDF]
, 2010 An extension of actuator disc theory is used to describe the properties of a tidal energy device, or row of tidal energy devices, within a depth-averaged numerical model This approach allows a direct link to be made between an actual tidal device and its

Energy potential of a tidal fence deployed near a coastal headland [PDF]
, 2013 Enhanced tidal streams close to coastal headlands appear to present ideal locations for the deployment of tidal energy devices. In this paper, the power potential of tidal streams near an idealized coastal headland with a sloping seabed is investigated ...

Underluminous tidal disruptions
, 2023 We have evidence of X-ray flares in several galaxies consistent with a a star being tidally disrupted by a supermassive black hole (MBH). If the star starts on a nearly parabolic orbit relative to the MBH, one can derive that the fallback rate follows a $t^{-5/3}$ decay.

Tidal Disruptions of Close White Dwarf Binaries by Intermediate-mass Black Holes
The Astrophysical JournalWe perform a suite of numerical simulations of tidal disruption events, using smoothed particle hydrodynamics, for a close binary system consisting of two low-mass white dwarfs and an intermediate-mass nonspinning black hole.

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 We report the discovery of a faint optical tidal disruption event (TDE) in the nearby star-forming galaxy NGC 3799. Identification of the TDE is based on its position at the galaxy nucleus, a light curve declining as t ^−5/3 , a blue continuum with an ...
