A unified model for tidal disruption events
In the past few years wide-field optical and UV transient surveys and X-ray telescopes have
allowed us to identify a few dozen candidate tidal disruption events (TDEs). While in theory …

X-ray properties of TDEs
R Saxton, S Komossa, K Auchettl, PG Jonker - Space Science Reviews, 2020 - Springer
Observational astronomy of tidal disruption events (TDEs) began with the detection of X-ray
flares from quiescent galaxies during the ROSAT all-sky survey of 1990–1991. The flares …

PS16dtm: a tidal disruption event in a narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy
We present observations of PS16dtm (also known as SN 2016ezh), a luminous transient that
occurred at the nucleus of a narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxy hosting a 10 6 M⊙ black hole. The …
