Beyond the Standard Tidal Disruption Event Model
Abstract
Observations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) are a powerful vehicle to investigate astrophysical phenomena associated with supermassive black holes. Some of the observations are showing hints of structure in the light curve beyond the expected t-5/3 power-law, challenging the properties expected from canonical TDEs. We present results from numerical simulations of ultra-close TDEs for rotating star and TDEs in magnetized and gas-filled environments as an attempt to identify unique signatures beyond the standard TDE model.
