Tidal disruption events
S Gezari - Annual Review of Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2021 - annualreviews.org
The concept of stars being tidally ripped apart and consumed by a massive black hole
(MBH) lurking in the center of a galaxy first captivated theorists in the late 1970s. The …

Seventeen tidal disruption events from the first half of ZTF survey observations: entering a new era of population studies
While tidal disruption events (TDEs) have long been heralded as laboratories for the study of
quiescent black holes, the small number of known TDEs and uncertainties in their emission …

On the mass and luminosity functions of tidal disruption flares: rate suppression due to black hole event horizons
S van Velzen - The Astrophysical Journal, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
The tidal disruption of a star by a massive black hole is expected to yield a luminous flare of
