ASASSN-19bt: Discovery of A Possible TDE in the TESS Field
Abstract
During the ongoing All Sky Automated Survey for SuperNovae (ASAS-SN, Shappee et al. 2014), using data from the quadruple 14-cm "Payne-Gaposchkin" telescope in Sutherland, South Africa, we discovered a new nuclear transient source, likely either a tidal disruption event or a supernova, in the galaxy 2MASX J07001137-6602251.
