A very luminous jet from the disruption of a star by a massive black hole
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are bursts of electromagnetic energy that are released when
supermassive black holes at the centres of galaxies violently disrupt a star that passes too …

Day-time-scale variability in the radio light curve of the Tidal Disruption Event AT2022cmc: confirmation of a highly relativistic outflow
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are transient, multiwavelength events in which a star is ripped
apart by a supermassive black hole. Observations show that in a small fraction of TDEs, a …

An off-axis relativistic jet seen in the long lasting delayed radio flare of the TDE AT 2018hyz
ABSTRACT The Tidal Disruption Event (TDE) AT 2018hyz exhibited a delayed radio flare
almost three years after the stellar disruption. Here, we report new radio observations of the …
