Formation of an accretion flow

C Bonnerot, NC Stone - Space Science Reviews, 2021 - Springer
After a star has been tidally disrupted by a black hole, the debris forms an elongated stream.
We start by studying the evolution of this gas before its bound part returns to the original …

Capture of stars into gaseous discs around massive black holes: alignment, circularization, and growth

A Generozov, HB Perets - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2023 - academic.oup.com
The majority of massive black holes (MBHs) likely hosted gas discs during their lifetimes.
These could either be long-lived active galactic nuclei (AGN) discs, or shorter-lived discs …

Tidal disruption events in active galactic nuclei

CH Chan, T Piran, JH Krolik… - The Astrophysical …, 2019 - iopscience.iop.org
A fraction of tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) whose
black holes possess accretion disks; these TDEs can be confused with common AGN flares …

First light from tidal disruption events

C Bonnerot, W Lu, PF Hopkins - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2021 - academic.oup.com
When a star comes too close to a supermassive black hole, it gets torn apart by strong tidal
forces in a tidal disruption event, or TDE. Half of the elongated stream of debris comes back …

Radio monitoring of the tidal disruption event Swift J164449. 3+ 573451. III. Late-time jet energetics and a deviation from equipartition

T Eftekhari, E Berger, BA Zauderer… - The Astrophysical …, 2018 - iopscience.iop.org
We present continued radio and X-ray observations of the relativistic tidal disruption event
Swift J164449. 3+ 573451 extending to δt≈ 2000 days after discovery. The radio data were …

Super-Eddington accretion in tidal disruption events: the impactof realistic fallback rates on accretion rates

S Wu, ER Coughlin, C Nixon - Monthly Notices of the Royal …, 2018 - academic.oup.com
After the tidal disruption of a star by a massive black hole, disrupted stellar debris can fall
back to the hole at a rate significantly exceeding its Eddington limit. To understand how …

The jet structure and the intrinsic luminosity function of short gamma-ray bursts

WW Tan, YW Yu - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The joint observation of GW170817 and GRB 170817A indicated that short gamma-ray
bursts (SGRBs) can originate from binary neutron star mergers. Moreover, some SGRBs …

A tidal disruption event candidate discovered in the active galactic nucleus SDSS J022700. 77-042020.6

Z Liu, D Li, HY Liu, Y Lu, W Yuan, L Dou… - The Astrophysical …, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
We report the discovery of a tidal disruption event (TDE) candidate occurring in the active
galactic nucleus (AGN) SDSS J022700. 77-042020.6. A sudden increase in flux from J0227 …

Interesting clues to detect hidden tidal disruption events in active galactic nuclei

XG Zhang - Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 2023 - academic.oup.com
In the manuscript, effects of tidal disruption events (TDEs) are estimated on long-term AGN
variability, to provide interesting clues to detect probable hidden TDEs in normal broad line …

Light curves of tidal disruption events in active galactic nuclei

CH Chan, T Piran, JH Krolik - The Astrophysical Journal, 2020 - iopscience.iop.org
The black hole of an active galactic nucleus is encircled by an accretion disk. The surface
density of the disk is always too low to affect the tidal disruption of a star, but it can be high …
