The Host Galaxies of Tidal Disruption Events [PDF]

Space Science Reviews, 2020
Recent studies of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) have revealed unexpected correlations between the TDE rate and the large-scale properties of the host galaxies. In this review, we present the host galaxy properties of all TDE candidates known to date and

Ultraviolet and optical observations of tidal disruption events

EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012
Tidal disruption events are expected to produce a luminous flare of radiation from fallback accretion of tidally disrupted stellar debris onto the central supermassive black hole.

The Tidal Disruption of Giant Stars and Their Contribution to the Flaring Supermassive Black Hole Population

, 2012
Sun-like stars are thought to be regularly disrupted by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) within galactic nuclei. Yet, as stars evolve off the main sequence their vulnerability to tidal disruption increases drastically as they develop a bifurcated ...

The tidal disruption of protoplanetary accretion discs [PDF]

, 1997
In this paper we revisit the problem of the tidal interaction occuring between a protostellar accretion disc and a secondary point mass following a parabolic trajectory.

A detailed spectroscopic study of Tidal Disruption Events [PDF]

, 2021
Spectroscopically, tidal disruption events (TDEs) are characterized by broad ( ∼ 10 4 kms − 1 ) emission lines and show a large diversity as well as di ff erent line profiles.

Mid-infrared Outbursts in Nearby Galaxies: Nuclear Obscuration and Connections to Hidden Tidal Disruption Events and Changing-look Active Galactic Nuclei

The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023
We study the properties of galaxies hosting mid-infrared outbursts in the context of a catalog of 500,000 galaxies from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We find that nuclear obscuration, as inferred by the surrounding dust mass, does not correlate with host

Relativistic cross sections of mass stripping and tidal disruption of a star by a super-massive rotating black hole

, 2005
[abbreviated] We consider the problem of tidal disruption of a star by a super-massive Kerr black hole. Using a numerically fast Lagrangian model of the tidally disrupted star we survey the parameter space of the problem and find the regions in the ...

Analytical and numerical studies of central galactic outflows powered by tidal disruption events -- a model for the Fermi bubbles?

, 2020
Capture and tidal disruption of stars by the supermassive black hole in the Galactic center (GC) should occur regularly. The energy released and dissipated by this processes will affect both the ambient environment of the GC and the Galactic halo.

AT2022cmc: A Tidal Disruption Event with a Two-component Jet in a Bondi-profile Circumnuclear Medium

The Astrophysical Journal
A supermassive black hole can launch a relativistic jet when it violently disrupts a star that passes too close. Such jetted tidal disruption events (TDEs) are rare and unique tools to investigate quiescent supermassive black holes, jet physics, and ...
