摘要

我们介绍了由全天自动超新星巡天(ASAS-SN)在2MASX J20390918-3045201中心(d216d\simeq216 Mpc)发现的潮汐破坏事件(TDE) ASASSN-15oi的地面与Swift测光和光谱观测。该源在全波段光度上峰值达到L1.3×1044L\simeq1.3\times10^{44} ergs s1^{-1},并在最初约3.5个月的观测中辐射出总能量E6.6×1050E\simeq6.6\times10^{50} ergs。该源早期的光学/紫外发射可用黑体谱拟合,温度从T2×104T\sim2\times10^4 K升至T4×104T\sim4\times10^4 K,同时光度从L1.3×1044L\simeq1.3\times10^{44} ergs s1^{-1}下降至L2.3×1043L\simeq2.3\times10^{43} ergs s1^{-1},表明光球层正在快速收缩。此期间光学/紫外光度下降最符合指数衰减Le(tt0)/τL\propto e^{-(t-t_0)/\tau},其中对于t057241.6t_0\simeq57241.6 (MJD)有τ46.5\tau \simeq46.5天;而幂律衰减L(tt0)αL\propto (t-t_0)^{-\alpha}t057212.3t_0\simeq57212.3α=1.62\alpha=1.62时拟合稍差。ASASSN-15oi还表现出大致恒定的软X射线发射,其强度显著弱于光学/紫外发射。该源的光谱在早期显示出宽的氦发射线和强蓝色连续谱发射,尽管这些特征迅速消退,在发现后约3个月时已不存在。ASASSN-15oi早期的光谱特征和颜色演化与TDE一致,但其快速的光谱演化在光学选出的TDE中是独特的。
