  1. 90. Polarized light from tidal disruption events: observations and modelling

    Oral

    Polarimetric observations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been very scarce until now, with most measurements conducted for relativistic (jetted), or otherwise extraordinary, TDEs. I will present the first results from a program at the VLT, focusing on spectral polarimetry of optical (thermal) TDEs. After appropriate corrections, the continuum polarization appears constant with...

    (Presenter: E. Lindfors)

    Supermassive black holes have been known to disrupt passing stars producing outbursts called tidal disruption events (TDEs) offering a unique view on the early stages of the accretion disk and jet formation. The advent of large-scale optical time-domain surveys has significantly increased the number of known...
