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 …

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 …

Dense star clusters are spectacular self-gravitating stellar systems in our Galaxy and across
the Universe—in many respects. They populate disks and spheroids of galaxies as well as …

Stars that interact with supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can be either completely or
partially destroyed by tides. In a partial tidal disruption event (TDE), the high-density core of …

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when stars are ripped apart, by massive black holes
and result in highly luminous, multi-wavelength flares,–. Optical–ultraviolet observations,–of …

With the sample of observed tidal disruption events (TDEs) now reaching several tens,
distinct spectroscopic classes have emerged: TDEs with only hydrogen lines (TDE-H), only …

We present a toy model for the thermal optical/UV/X-ray emission from tidal disruption
events (TDEs). Motivated by recent hydrodynamical simulations, we assume that the debris …

A star completely destroyed in a tidal disruption event (TDE) ignites a luminous flare that is
powered by the fallback of tidally stripped debris to a supermassive black hole (SMBH) of …

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) of stars operated by massive black holes (MBHs) will be
detected in thousands by upcoming facilities such as the Vera Rubin Observatory. In this …

Observations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) show signs of nitrogen enrichment
reminiscent of other astrophysical sources such as active galactic nuclei and star-forming …
