A Smart and Colorful Cadence for the LSST Wide Fast Deep Survey: Maximizing TDE Science
Suvi Gezari, Sjoert van Velzen, Tiara Hung +2
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are rare, 10^(-7)/yr/Mpc^3 (Hung et al. 2018), yet the large survey volume of LSST implies a very large detection rate of 200/yr/(1000 deg^2) (van Ve…
The first tidal disruption flare in ZTF: from photometric selection to multi-wavelength characterization
Sjoert van Velzen, Suvi Gezari, S. Bradley Cenko +37
We present Zwicky Transient Facility (ZTF) observations of the tidal disruption flare AT2018zr/PS18kh reported by Holoien et al. and detected during ZTF commissioning. The ZTF ligh…
Stellar Tidal Disruption Events in General Relativity
Nicholas C. Stone, Michael Kesden, Roseanne M. Cheng +1
A tidal disruption event (TDE) ensues when a star passes too close to the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a galactic center and is ripped apart by the tidal field of the SMBH. Th…
