The final season reimagined: 30 tidal disruption events from the ZTF-I Survey
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique way to study dormant black holes. While the
number of observed TDEs has grown thanks to the emergence of wide-field surveys in 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 …
