The study of the evolution of X-ray spectra in tidal disruption events (TDEs) is an important approach for understanding the physical processes occurring near a supermassive black hole. Observations show that the X-ray spectra of TDEs are…
Recent observations presented in Cendes et al. (2024a) show that optically selected tidal disruption events (TDEs) commonly produce delayed radio emission that can peak years post-disruption. Here, we explore the multi-wavelength properties…
The rate of observable tidal disruption events (TDEs) by the most massive black holes (BHs) is suppressed due to direct capture of stars by the event horizon. This suppression effect depends on the shape of the horizon and holds the promise…
The tidal disruption of a star by a massive black hole is expected to yield a luminous flare of thermal emission. About two dozen of these stellar tidal disruption flares (TDFs) may have been detected in optical transient surveys. However,…
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star plunges through a supermassive black hole's tidal radius, at which point the star's self-gravity is overwhelmed by the tidal gravity of the black hole. In a partial TDE, where the star does…
Tidal disruption by massive black holes is a phenomenon, during which a large part of gravitational energy can be released on a very short time-scale. The time-scales and energies involved during X-ray and IR flares observed in Galactic…
During a stellar tidal disruption event (TDE), an accretion disk forms as stellar debris returns to the disruption site and circularizes. Rather than being confined within the circularizing radius, the disk can spread to larger radii to…
Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) release enormous amounts of energy, offering a promising avenue for detecting Population III (Pop III) stars. However, the radiative properties of TDEs of Pop III stars have so far been studied only…
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star or sub-stellar object passes close enough to a galaxy's supermassive black hole to be disrupted by tidal forces. NGC 4845 (d=17 Mpc) was host to a TDE, IGR J12580+0134, detected in November…
Stars on orbits with pericenters sufficiently close to the supermassive black hole at the center of their host galaxy can be ripped apart by tidal stresses. Some of the resulting stellar debris becomes more tightly bound to the hole and can…
Accretion of stars on massive black holes (MBHs) can feed MBHs and generate tidal disruption events (TDEs). We introduce a new physically motivated model to self-consistently treat TDEs in cosmological simulations, and apply it to the…
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star passes close enough to a galaxy's supermassive black hole to be disrupted by tidal forces. We discuss new observations of IGRJ12580+0134, a TDE observed in NGC 4845 (d=17 Mpc) in November…
A large number of tidal disruption event (TDE) candidates have been observed recently, often differing in their observational features. Two classes appear to stand out: X-ray and optical TDEs, the latter featuring lower effective…
Among the many intriguing aspects of optically discovered tidal disruption events (TDEs) is that their temperatures are lower than expected and that the temperature does not evolve as rapidly with decreasing fallback rate as would be…
We present a multi-wavelength analysis of 14 tidal disruption events (TDEs)-including an off-nuclear event associated with an ultra-compact dwarf galaxy-selected for having available thermal X-ray spectra during their late-time UV/optical…
Massive black holes at galaxy center may tear apart a star when the star passes occasionally within the disruption radius, which is the so-called tidal disruption event(TDE). Most TDEs radiate with thermal emission resulted from the…
The tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole provides us with a rare glimpse of these otherwise dormant beasts. It has long been predicted that the disruption will be accompanied by a thermal `flare', powered by the accretion…
We performed a systematic search for stellar tidal disruption events (TDE) by looking for X-ray sources that were detected during the ROSAT All Sky Survey and faded by more than an order of magnitude over the next two decades according to…
A growing fraction of tidal disruption events (TDEs) exhibit radio emission that rises only years after the optical or infrared flare, indicating delayed outflow activity. In some events the outflow is inferred to be slow ($\sim 0.02 \, c$)…
Statistics on tidal disruption events (TDEs) may be contaminated by repeating TDEs (rTDEs), which have been extensively discovered recently. However, the origin of rTDEs remains unclear. In addition, no statistical research on rTDEs with…
