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 …

A fast-rising tidal disruption event from a candidate intermediate-mass black hole
Massive black holes (BHs) at the centres of massive galaxies are ubiquitous. The population
of BHs within dwarf galaxies, on the other hand, is not yet known. Dwarf galaxies are thought …
