Tidal disruption event discs are larger than they seem: removing systematic biases in TDE X-ray spectral modelling

Andrew Mummery

The physical sizes of TDE accretion discs are regularly inferred, from the modelling of the TDEs X-ray spectrum as a single temperature blackbody, to be smaller than the plausible…

A unified model of tidal destruction events in the disc-dominated phase

Andrew Mummery

We develop a unification scheme which explains the varied observed properties of TDEs in terms of simple disc physics. The unification scheme postulates that the different observed…

A maximum X-ray luminosity scale of disc-dominated tidal disruption events

Andrew Mummery

We develop a model describing the dynamical and observed properties of disc-dominated TDEs around black holes with the lowest masses ().…

Hard X-ray emission from a Compton scattering corona in large black hole mass tidal disruption events

Andrew Mummery, Steven Balbus

We extend the relativistic time-dependent thin-disc TDE model to describe nonthermal ( keV) X-ray emission produced by the Compton up-scattering of thermal disc photons by a…

An upper observable black hole mass scale for tidal disruption events with thermal X-ray spectra

Andrew Mummery, Steven Balbus

We comprehensively model the X-ray luminosity emergent from time dependent relativistic accretion discs, developing analytical models of the X-ray luminosity of thermal disc system…
