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…

Live to die another day: the rebrightening of AT2018fyk as a repeating partial tidal disruption event

T. Wevers, E. R. Coughlin, D. R. Pasham +13

Stars that interact with supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can either be completely or partially destroyed by tides. In a partial tidal disruption event (TDE) the high-density core…

An elliptical accretion disk following the tidal disruption event AT 2020zso

T. Wevers, M. Nicholl, M. Guolo +25

[Abridged] We classify AT 2020zso as a TDE based on the blackbody evolution inferred from UV/optical photometric observations, and spectral line content and evolution. We identify…

Systematic light curve modelling of TDEs: statistical differences between the spectroscopic classes

Matt Nicholl, Daniel Lanning, Paige Ramsden +4

With the sample of observed tidal disruption events (TDEs) now reaching several tens, distinct spectroscopic classes have emerged: TDEs with only hydrogen lines (TDE-H), only heliu…

A detailed spectroscopic study of Tidal Disruption Events

P. Charalampopoulos, G. Leloudas, D. B. Malesani +19

Spectroscopically, TDEs are characterized by broad ( 10 km/s) emission lines and show large diversity as well as different line profiles. After carefully and consistently per…

Accretion disc cooling and narrow absorption lines in the tidal disruption event AT 2019dsg

G. Cannizzaro, T. Wevers, P. G. Jonker +23

We present the results of a large multi-wavelength follow-up campaign of the Tidal Disruption Event (TDE) \dsg, focusing on low to high resolution optical spectroscopy, X-ray, and…
