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…
Infrared observations reveal the reprocessing envelope in the tidal disruption event AT 2019azh
Thomas M. Reynolds, Lars Thomsen, Seppo Mattila +14
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are expected to release much of their energy in the far-ultraviolet (UV), which we do not observe directly. However, infrared (IR) observations can o…
An Intermediate-mass Black Hole Lurking in A Galactic Halo Caught Alive during Outburst
C. -C. Jin, D. -Y. Li, N. Jiang +137
Stellar-mass and supermassive black holes abound in the Universe, whereas intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) of ~10^2-10^5 solar masses in between are largely missing observatio…
A multi-dimensional view of a unified model for TDEs
Edward J. Parkinson, Christian Knigge, Lixin Dai +3
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) can generate non-spherical, relativistic and optically thick outflows. Simulations show that the radiation we observe is reprocessed by these outflow…
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…
Dynamical Unification of Tidal Disruption Events
Lars Lund Thomsen, Tom Kwan, Lixin Dai +2
About a hundred tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been observed and they exhibit a wide range of emission properties both at peak and over their lifetimes. Some TDEs peak predomi…
Relativistic X-ray reverberation from super-Eddington accretion flow
Lars Lund Thomsen, Jane Lixin Dai, Erin Kara +1
X-ray reverberation is a powerful technique which maps out the structure of the inner regions of accretion disks around black holes using the echoes of the coronal emission reflect…
X-ray fluorescence from super-Eddington accreting black holes
Lars Lund Thomsen, Jane Lixin Dai, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +2
X-ray reverberation has proven to be a powerful tool capable of probing the innermost region of accretion disks around compact objects. Current theoretical effort generally assumes…
