The impact of tidal disruption events on galactic habitability [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2020 ABSTRACTTidal disruption events (TDEs) are characterized by the emission of a short burst of high-energy radiation. We analyse the cumulative impact of TDEs on galactic habitability using the Milky Way as a proxy. We show that X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation emitted during TDEs can cause hydrodynamic escape and instigate biological damage.

Optical Appearance of Eccentric Tidal Disruption Events
, 2023 Stars approaching supermassive black holes can be tidally disrupted. Despite being expected to emit X-rays, tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been largely observed in optical bands, which is poorly understood.

Signatures of Tidal Disruption of the Hercules Ultrafaint Dwarf Galaxy [PDF]
Astrophysical JournalThe Hercules ultrafaint dwarf galaxy (UFD) has long been hypothesized to be tidally disrupting, yet no conclusive evidence has been found for tidal disruption owing partly to difficulties in identifying Hercules member stars.

Rapid Accretion State Transitions following the Tidal Disruption Event AT2018fyk [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2021 Following a tidal disruption event (TDE), the accretion rate can evolve from quiescent to near-Eddington levels and back over timescales of months to years.

Seventeen Tidal Disruption Events from the First Half of ZTF Survey Observations: Entering a New Era of Population Studies [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2020 While tidal disruption events (TDEs) have long been heralded as laboratories for the study of quiescent black holes, the small number of known TDEs and uncertainties in their emission mechanism have hindered progress toward this promise.

Radio observations of the tidal disruption event AT2020opy: a luminous non-relativistic outflow encountering a dense circumnuclear medium [PDF]
Monthly notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2022 Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star passes too close to a supermassive black hole and is destroyed by tidal gravitational forces. Radio observations of TDEs trace synchrotron emission from outflowing material that may be ejected from the ...

Tidal Disruption Events from Eccentric Orbits and Lessons Learned from the Noteworthy ASASSN-14ko [PDF]
Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Stars grazing supermassive black holes (SMBHs) on bound orbits may survive tidal disruption, causing periodic flares. Inspired by the recent discovery of the periodic nuclear transient ASASSN-14ko, a promising candidate for a repeating tidal disruption ...

Multi-messenger observations of Tidal Disruption Events
, 2023 Using the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) and other observatories, we have identified three candidate Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) in spatial and temporal coincidence with high-energy neutrinos detected by IceCube: AT2019dsg, AT2019fdr and AT2019aalc ...
