Central Black Hole Mass in the Distant Tidal Disruption Event Candidate of Swift J2058.4+0516
Abstract
In this article, the central black hole (BH) mass in the distant tidal disruption event (TDE) of Swift J2058.4+0516, the second candidate of relativistic jet birth related to a TDE, is estimated. Swift J2058.4+0516 has quite different BH masses estimated through different indirect methods in the literature. Therefore, it is necessary and interesting to determine the central BH mass in Swift J2058.4+0516 by another independent method. Here, based on the theoretical TDE model applied to describe the long-term time-dependent X-ray variabilities of Swift J2058.4+0516, the central BH mass can be well determined to be around ${1.05}_{-0.29}^{+0.39}\times {10}^{5}{M}_{\odot }$ , after considering the suggested intrinsic beaming effects from such relativistic jets tightly related to TDEs. Moreover, Swift J2058.4+0516 is a unique object in the space of BH masses versus energy transfer efficiencies of the reported TDE candidates, providing interesting clues to detect and/or anticipate candidates of relativistic TDEs that cause the birth of relativistic jets.
