The ePESSTO+ census of ZTF nuclear transients. I. What flares in galactic nuclei?
E. Concepción, T. Petrushevska, G. Leloudas +21
Transients in galactic nuclei arise from distinct processes, only some of which trace the supermassive black hole (SMBH). These include tidal disruption events (TDEs), changing-loo…
Aarmed with Data: Bumps, Outflows, and Disk-like Emission in TDE 2025aarm
Aysha Aamer, Kate D. Alexander, Charlotte R. Angus +43
The origin of the optical emission in tidal disruption events (TDEs) remains one of the major outstanding questions in the field, in part due to the limited number of nearby events…
Early Near-Infrared Excess and Rapid Disk-Corona Evolution in the Tidal Disruption Event 2024aepd
Yongxin Wu, Yanan Wang, Thomas M. Reynolds +38
We present multi-wavelength observations of the tidal disruption event (TDE) 2024aepd, spanning primarily the first 300 days after discovery. A prominent near-infrared (NIR)…
Low-hard to high-soft spectral state transitions in the faintest early-X-ray-detected optical tidal disruption event TDE 2025aarm
Pietro Baldini, Arne Rau, Andrea Merloni +11
We report the X-ray and optical spectroscopic properties of TDE 2025aarm, the second closest tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered to date. The proximity of this source, combined…
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…
Polarisation angle variability in tidal disruption events
A. Floris, I. Liodakis, K. I. I. Koljonen +9
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star is disrupted by the tidal forces of a supermassive black hole, and these events produce bright multi-wavelength flares. Polarimetri…
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…
AT2024wpp: An Extremely Luminous Fast Ultraviolet Transient Powered by Accretion onto a Black Hole
Daniel A. Perley, Anna Y. Q. Ho, Zoë McGrath +69
We present the discovery of AT 2024wpp ("Whippet"), a fast and luminous 18cow-like transient. At a redshift of z=0.0868, revealed by Keck Cosmic Web Imager spectroscopy of its fain…
