Merger Driven or Internal Evolution? A New Morphological Study of Tidal Disruption Event Host Galaxies
Janet N. Y. Chang, Connor Bottrell, Lixin Dai +7
The host galaxies of tidal disruption events (TDEs) show enhanced central stellar concentration and are preferentially found in poststarburst and green valley populations. This con…
TDEs on FIRE: Illuminating the Cosmic Evolution of Tidal Disruption Rates
Rudrani Kar Chowdhury, Lixin Dai, Janet N. Y. Chang +1
Tidal disruption events have been extensively studied in the local universe, but their prevalence at high redshifts remains largely unexplored. Using the FIRE-2 cosmological zoom-i…
Rates of Stellar Tidal Disruption Events around Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
Janet N. Y. Chang, Lixin Dai, Hugo Pfister +2
Rates of stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) around supermassive black holes (SMBHs) have been extensively calculated using the loss cone theory, while theoretical work on TDE r…
Detecting Population III Stars through Tidal Disruption Events in the Era of JWST and Roman
Rudrani Kar Chowdhury, Janet N. Y. Chang, Lixin Dai +1
The first generation metal-free stars, referred to as population III (Pop III) stars, are believed to be the first objects to form out of the pristine gas in the very early Univers…
