A radio jet from the optical and x-ray bright stellar tidal disruption flare ASASSN-14li
Sjoert van Velzen, Gemma E. Anderson, Nicholas C. Stone +11
The tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole leads to a short-lived thermal flare. Despite extensive searches, radio follow-up observations of known thermal stellar…
