Modeling continuum polarization levels of tidal disruption events based on the collision-induced outflow mode
Panos Charalampopoulos, Mattia Bulla, Clement Bonnerot +1
TDEs have been observed in the optical and UV for more than a decade but the underlying emission mechanism still remains a puzzle. It has been suggested that viewing angle effects…
The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…
A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Igor Andreoni, Michael W. Coughlin, Daniel A. Perley +78
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes t…
The rise and fall of the iron-strong nuclear transient PS16dtm
T. Petrushevska, G. Leloudas, D. Ilic +30
Thanks to the advent of large-scale optical surveys, a diverse set of flares from the nuclear regions of galaxies has recently been discovered. These include the disruption of star…
AT 2020wey and the class of faint and fast Tidal Disruption Events
Panos Charalampopoulos, Miika Pursiainen, Giorgos Leloudas +5
We present an analysis of the optical and UV properties of AT 2020wey, a faint and fast tidal disruption event (TDE) at 124.3 Mpc. The light curve of the object peaked at an absolu…
An asymmetric electron-scattering photosphere around optical tidal disruption events
Giorgos Leloudas, Mattia Bulla, Aleksandar Cikota +10
A star crossing the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole will be spectacularly ripped apart with an accompanying burst of radiation. A few tens of such tidal disruption events…
