Spectroscopic Signatures of the Tidal Disruption of Stars by Massive Black Holes
Linda E. Strubbe, Eliot Quataert
During the tidal disruption of a star by a massive black hole (BH) of mass MBH <~ 10^7 Msun, stellar debris falls back to the BH at a rate well above the Eddington rate. A fraction…

Optical Flares from the Tidal Disruption of Stars by Massive Black Holes
Linda E. Strubbe, Eliot Quataert
A star that wanders too close to a massive black hole (BH) is shredded by the BH's tidal gravity. Stellar gas falls back to the BH, releasing a flare of energy. In anticipation of…

Probing Quiescent Massive Black Holes: Insights from Tidal Disruption Events
Suvi Gezari, Linda Strubbe, Joshua S. Bloom +10
Tidal disruption events provide a unique probe of quiescent black holes in the nuclei of distant galaxies. The next generation of synoptic surveys will yield a large sample of flar…
