Discovery of Highly Blueshifted Broad Balmer and Metastable Helium Absorption Lines in a Tidal Disruption Event
T. Hung, S. B. Cenko, Nathaniel Roth +25
We report the discovery of non-stellar hydrogen Balmer and metastable helium absorption lines accompanying a transient, high-velocity (0.05) broad absorption line (BAL) system i…
The spectral evolution of AT 2018dyb and the presence of metal lines in tidal disruption events
Giorgos Leloudas, Lixin Dai, Iair Arcavi +29
We present light curves and spectra of the tidal disruption event (TDE) ASASSN-18pg / AT 2018dyb spanning a period of one year. The event shows a plethora of strong emission lines,…
An Arena for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics: Inspiral and Tidal Disruption of White Dwarfs by Massive Black Holes
Michael Eracleous, Suvi Gezari, Alberto Sesana +4
The tidal disruption of stars by (super-)massive black holes in galactic nuclei has been discussed in theoretical terms for about 30 years but only in the past decade have we been…
