Tidal disruption event rates across cosmic time: forecasts for LSST, Roman, and JWST and their constraints on the supermassive black hole mass function

Mitchell Karmen, Suvi Gezari, Colin Norman +1

Measuring the mass distribution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) over cosmic time remains particularly challenging for the low mass (M_BH<10^8 M_sun) population at z>1. This pop…
