Reverberation in tidal disruption events: dust echoes, coronal emission lines, multi-wavelength cross-correlations, and QPOs
S van Velzen, DR Pasham, S Komossa, L Yan… - Space Science …, 2021 - Springer
Stellar tidal disruption events (TDEs) are typically discovered by transient emission due to
accretion or shocks of the stellar debris. Yet this luminous flare can be reprocessed by gas …

A population of bona fide intermediate-mass black holes identified as low-luminosity active galactic nuclei
Nearly every massive galaxy harbors a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in its nucleus.
SMBH masses are millions to billions of solar mass, and they correlate with properties of …

Infrared Echoes of Optical Tidal Disruption Events:∼ 1% Dust-covering Factor or Less at Subparsec Scale
The past decade has experienced an explosive increase of optically discovered tidal
disruption events (TDEs) with the advent of modern time-domain surveys. However, we still …

[HTML][HTML] A New Population of Mid-infrared-selected Tidal Disruption Events: Implications for Tidal Disruption Event Rates and Host Galaxy Properties
Most tidal disruption events (TDEs) are currently found in time-domain optical and soft X-ray
surveys, both of which are prone to significant obscuration. The infrared (IR), however, is a …

Infrared echo and late-stage rebrightening of nuclear transient Ps1-10adi: Exploring the torus with tidal disruption events in active galactic nuclei
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) in active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been overlooked for a
long time but have recently been tentatively investigated. We report the discovery of a long …

AT 2019avd: A tidal disruption event with a two-phase evolution
JH Chen, LM Dou, RF Shen - The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 - iopscience.iop.org
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) can uncover the quiescent supermassive black holes
(SMBHs) at the center of galaxies and also offer a promising method to study them. After the …
