TDE Hosts are Green and Centrally Concentrated: Signatures of a Post-Merger System
Erica Hammerstein, Suvi Gezari, Sjoert van Velzen +17
We study the properties of the galaxies hosting the first 19 tidal disruption events (TDEs) detected with the Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) within the context of a carefully cons…
Radiative Emission Mechanisms of Tidal Disruption Events
Nathaniel Roth, Elena M. Rossi, Julian H. Krolik +3
We describe how the various outcomes of stellar tidal disruption give rise to observable radiation. We separately consider the cases where gas circularizes rapidly into an accretio…
Forward Modeling Populations of Flares from Tidal Disruptions of Stars by Super-massive Black Holes
Nathaniel Roth, Sjoert van Velzen, S. Bradley Cenko +1
Detections of the tidal disruption flares (TDFs) of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are rapidly accumulating as optical surveys improve. These detections may provide cons…
Seventeen Tidal Disruption Events from the First Half of ZTF Survey Observations: Entering a New Era of Population Studies
Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari, Erica Hammerstein +34
While tidal disruption events (TDEs) have long been heralded as laboratories for the study of quiescent black holes, the small number of known TDEs and uncertainties in their emiss…
