The Cross-Survey Decade: A Call to Action
Gioia Rau, Robert Benjamin, Federica Bianco +24
By 2027, three flagship wide-field surveys will be operating simultaneously from ground and space, observing overlapping sky and representing more than $6 billion in US and Europea…
Tidal disruption event rates across cosmic time: forecasts for LSST, Roman, and JWST and their constraints on the supermassive black hole mass function
Mitchell Karmen, Suvi Gezari, Colin Norman +1
The paper builds a semi‑empirical model for how tidal disruption event (TDE) rates evolve with redshift under different supermassive black hole mass‑function scenarios, and uses fo…
The Lazuli Space Observatory: Opportunities for time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy
T. Wevers, T. J. Maccarone, A. Palmese +14
Advancing time-domain and multi-messenger astronomy requires a multi-wavelength network of observatories capable of rapidly discovering, classifying, and characterizing transient p…
TDE 2025abcr: A Tidal Disruption Event in the Outskirts of a Massive Galaxy
Robert Stein, Jonathan Carney, Charlotte Ward +27
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) have traditionally been discovered in optical sky surveys through targeted searches of nuclear transients. However, it is expected that some TDEs wil…
The Wandering Supermassive Black Hole Powering the off-nuclear TDE AT2024tvd
M. Guolo, A. Mummery, S. van Velzen +11
We present an analysis of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the off-nuclear tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2024tvd during its late-time plateau phase, combining X-ray spect…
AT2019cmw: A highly luminous, cooling featureless TDE candidate from the disruption of a high mass star in an early-type galaxy
Jacob L. Wise, Daniel A. Perley, Nikhil Sarin +23
We present optical/UV photometric and spectroscopic observations, as well as X-ray and radio follow-up, of the extraordinary event AT2019cmw. With a peak bolometric luminosity of ~…
