The birth of a relativistic jet following the disruption of a star by a cosmological black hole

DR Pasham, M Lucchini, T Laskar, BP Gompertz… - Nature …, 2023 - nature.com
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet
fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boosted by several …
