AT2022cmc was recently reported as the first on-axis jetted tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered in the last decade, and the fourth on-axis jetted TDE candidate known so far. In this work, we present NuSTAR hard X-ray (3--30 keV)…
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are transient, multi-wavelength events in which a star is ripped apart by a supermassive black hole. Observations show that in a small fraction of TDEs, a short-lived, synchrotron emitting jet is produced. We…
We investigate the external reverse shock region of relativistic jets as the origin of X-ray afterglows of jetted tidal disruption events (TDEs) that exhibit luminous jets accompanied by fast-declining non-thermal X-ray emissions. We model…
Gamma-ray observations of a stellar tidal disruption event (TDE) detected by the Swift satellite and follow up observations in radio, mm, infrared and x-ray bands have provided a rich data set to study accretion onto massive blackholes,…
The tidal disruption event (TDE) AT2022cmc represents the fourth known example of a relativistic jet produced by the tidal disruption of a stray star providing a unique probe of the formation and evolution of relativistic jets in otherwise…
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy released when supermassive black holes (SMBHs) at the centers of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes too close. TDEs provide a new window to study accretion onto…
AT 2022cmc is a luminous optical transient ($\nu L_{\nu} \gtrsim 10^{45}$ erg s$^{-1}$) accompanied by decaying non-thermal X-rays (peak duration $t_{\rm X} \lesssim$ days and isotropic energy $E_{\rm X,iso} \gtrsim 10^{53}$ erg) and a…
We present continued radio and X-ray observations of the relativistic tidal disruption event Swift J164449.3+573451 extending to $\delta t \approx 2000$ d after discovery. The radio data were obtained with the VLA as part of a long-term…
We analyze both the early and late time radio and X-ray data of the tidal disruption event Swift J1644+57. The data at early times ($\lesssim 5$ days) necessitates separation of the radio and X-ray emission regions, either spatially or in…
We present continued multi-frequency radio observations of the relativistic tidal disruption event Sw1644+57 extending to dt~600 d. The data were obtained with the JVLA and AMI Large Array. We combine these data with public Swift/XRT and…
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star travels too close to a supermassive black hole. In some cases, accretion of the disrupted material onto the black hole launches a relativistic jet. In this paper, we present a long term…
We perform a comprehensive study of the X-ray emission from 70 transient sources which have been classified as a tidal disruption event (TDE) in the literature. We explore the properties of these candidates using nearly three decades of…
Theories and simulations predict that intense spacetime curvature near black holes bends the trajectories of light and matter, driving disk and jet precession under relativistic torques. However, direct observational evidence of disk-jet…
Only a tiny fraction ~ 1% of stellar tidal disruption events (TDE) generate powerful relativistic jets evidenced by luminous hard X-ray and radio emissions. We propose that a key property responsible for both this surprisingly low rate and…
Reverberation observations have uncovered an Fe K{\alpha} fluorescence line in the tidal disruption event (TDE) Swift J1644+57 (Kara et al. 2016). The discovery paper used the lag spectrum to argue that the X-ray continuum source was…
In the past few years wide-field optical and UV transient surveys as well as X-ray telescopes have allowed us to identify a few dozen candidate tidal disruption events (TDEs). While in theory the physical processes in TDEs are expected to…
A supermassive black hole can launch a relativistic jet when it violently disrupts a star that passes too close. Such jetted tidal disruption events (TDEs) are rare and unique tools to investigate quiescent supermassive black holes, jet…
The discovery of jets from tidal disruption events (TDEs) rejuvenated the old field of relativistic jets powered by accretion onto supermassive black holes. In this Chapter, we first review the extensive multi-wavelength observations of…
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boosted by several orders of magnitude. Consequently, such…
AT2022cmc is the first on-axis jetted tidal disruption event (TDE) to be discovered at optical wavelengths. The optically bright nature of AT2022cmc presents an unprecedented opportunity to place this jetted TDE in the context of the larger…
