The Light Curve of Wind-Reprocessed Tidal Disruption Events
Brenna Mockler, David Khatami, Daniel Kasen +2
The source of the optical/UV emission in tidal disruption events (TDEs) remains an enduring question in the field. Connecting the observed emission to the source is critical for bo…
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…
Delayed radio emission in tidal disruption events from collisions of outflows driven by disk instabilities
Samantha C. Wu, Daichi Tsuna, Brenna Mockler +1
Delayed radio emission has been associated with a growing proportion of tidal disruption events (TDEs). For many events, the radio synchrotron emission is inferred to originate fro…
Can tidal disruption event models reliably measure black hole masses?
C. R. Angus, A. J. Smith, D. Magill +15
Tidal disruption event (TDE) light curves are increasingly used to infer the masses of quiescent supermassive black holes (), offering a powerful probe of low-mass bla…
A fast powerful X-ray transient from possible tidal disruption of a white dwarf
Dongyue Li, Wenda Zhang, Jun Yang +97
Stars captured by black holes (BHs) can be torn apart by strong tidal forces, producing electromagnetic flares. To date, more than 100 tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been obse…
Prospects for Measuring Black Hole Masses using TDEs with the Vera C. Rubin Observatory
K. Decker French, Brenna Mockler, Nicholas Earl +1
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) provide an opportunity to study supermassive black holes that are otherwise quiescent. The Vera C. Rubin Legacy Survey of Space and Time will be capa…
