Multi-messenger astronomy with black holes: tidal disruption events
Thomas Wevers, Taeho Ryu
This chapter provides an overview of tidal disruption events, aiming to provide an overview of both the theoretical and the observational state of the field, with the overarching g…
Delayed Appearance and Evolution of Coronal Lines in the TDE AT2019qiz
P. Short, A. Lawrence, M. Nicholl +17
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star gets torn apart by a supermassive black hole as it crosses its tidal radius. We present late-time optical and X-ray observations of…
Multiwavelength observations of the extraordinary accretion event AT2021lwx
P. Wiseman, Y. Wang, S. Hönig +43
We present observations from X-ray to mid-infrared wavelengths of the most energetic non-quasar transient ever observed, AT2021lwx. Our data show a single optical brightening by a…
From X-rays to physical parameters: a comprehensive analysis of thermal tidal disruption event X-ray spectra
Andrew Mummery, Thomas Wevers, Richard Saxton +1
We perform a comprehensive analysis of a population of 19 X-ray bright tidal disruption events (TDEs), fitting their X-ray spectra with a new, physically self consistent, relativis…
