Discovery of a Fast Iron Low-ionization Outflow in the Early Evolution of the Nearby Tidal Disruption Event AT2019qiz
Tiara Hung, Ryan J. Foley, S. Veilleux +16
We report the results of ultraviolet (UV) and optical photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2019qiz. Our follow-up observations started 10…
Tidal disruption events in the first billion years of a galaxy
Hugo Pfister, Jane Dai, Marta Volonteri +3
Accretion of stars on massive black holes (MBHs) can feed MBHs and generate tidal disruption events (TDEs). We introduce a new physically motivated model to self-consistently treat…
The Process of Stellar Tidal Disruption by Supermassive Black Holes. The first pericenter passage
Elena M. Rossi, Nicholas C. Stone, Jamie A. P. Law-Smith +4
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are among the brightest transients in the optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray sky. These flares are set into motion when a star is torn apart by the tida…
Simulations of Tidal Disruption Events
Giuseppe Lodato, Roseanne M. Cheng, Clement Bonnerot +1
Numerical simulations have historically played a major role in understanding the hydrodynamics of the tidal disruption process. Given the complexity of the geometry of the system,…
Double-Peaked Balmer Emission Indicating Prompt Accretion Disk Formation in an X-Ray Faint Tidal Disruption Event
Tiara Hung, Ryan J. Foley, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +13
We present the multi-wavelength analysis of the tidal disruption event (TDE) AT~2018hyz (ASASSN-18zj). From follow-up optical spectroscopy, we detect the first unambiguous case of…
Enhancement of the tidal disruption event rate in galaxies with a nuclear star cluster: from dwarfs to ellipticals
Hugo Pfister, Marta Volonteri, Jane Lixin Dai +1
We compute the tidal disruption event (TDE) rate around local massive black holes (MBHs) with masses as low as , thus probing the dwarf regime for the…
