First Pre-peak Ultraviolet Spectrum of a Tidal Disruption Event: A Fast Outflow Revealed Prior to Maximum Light in TDE2025aarm

Erica Hammerstein, Ryan Chornock, Jean Somalwar +32

The tidal disruption and eventual accretion of a star by a massive black hole can lead to the launching of outflows and winds that encode important information about the tidal disr…

A Proliferated Space Architecture for Time-Domain Astrophysics

Daniel Kocevski, Eric Burns, Thomas Barclay +58

Time-Domain and Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (TDAMM) is entering a discovery-rich but follow-up-limited era, creating an urgent need for responsive, multiwavelength space-based cap…

The Light Curve of Wind-Reprocessed Tidal Disruption Events

Brenna Mockler, David Khatami, Daniel Kasen +2

The source of the optical/UV emission in tidal disruption events (TDEs) remains an enduring question in the field. Connecting the observed emission to the source is critical for bo…

A Unified Ionization Framework for the Spectroscopic Diversity of Tidal Disruption Events

Lars L. Thomsen, Lixin Dai, Daniel Kasen +4

Optical tidal disruption events (TDEs) exhibit extremely broad emission lines (-) and are observationally classified into four spectroscopic typ…

Can tidal disruption event models reliably measure black hole masses?

C. R. Angus, A. J. Smith, D. Magill +15

Tidal disruption event (TDE) light curves are increasingly used to infer the masses of quiescent supermassive black holes (), offering a powerful probe of low-mass bla…

Prospects for Measuring Black Hole Masses using TDEs with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory

K. Decker French, Brenna Mockler, Nicholas Earl +1

Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) provide an opportunity to study supermassive black holes that are otherwise quiescent. The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time will be capa…
