The Last Gasp of the TDE Wind

When a star is tidally disrupted by a supermassive black hole, the rapidaccretion of the stellar debris may drive superEddington winds which. After aperiod of accretion rate decay, we expect the winds to shut off, drasticallyreducing the production of broad line emission and changing the evolution of thebandspecific light curve across the spectrum. Spectroscopic monitoring of newtidal disruption events (TDEs) in the ultraviolet is the best place to observethis transition due to the persistence of a windless disk continuum. the lack ofstellar contamination, and the wealth of highionization diagnostic lines thatprobe the relatively small TDE accretion structure. We propose to observe 5 TDEsover 3 epochs with monitoring UV spectroscopy and complementary Xray and optical truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
