Close encounter between a star and a supermassive black hole (SMBH) results in the tidal disruption of the star, known as a tidal disruption event (TDE). Recently, a few TDEs, e.g., ASASSN-15oi and AT2018hyz, have shown late-time (hundreds…

Tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes produce multi-wavelength emission, of which the optical emission is of ambiguous origin. A unification scenario of tidal disruption events (TDEs) has been proposed to explain the…

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are powerful probes of supermassive black hole (SMBH) properties and accretion physics. The existing light curve fitting tools assume that the disrupted stars are on parabolic orbits, which may introduce…
