A Quick comma Hard Look at a Bright Tidal Disruption Candidate
收藏资源简介:
Disruptions of stars by massive black holes in distant galaxies represent a richdiscovery space. Not only can the predictions of such extreme encounters betested, but disk and jet formation can be observed directly, and the stronggravitational environment near the black hole can be explored. Exploiting thisrich potential requires a quick, sensitive observation, early in the evolutionof an Xraybright flare. Two such flares have been detected within the last twoyears; in one, we recently discovered Xray QPOs using XMMNewton. We request a98 ksec (70 ksec plus overheads) observation of a new Xraybright tidaldisruption flare, within approximately 7 days of its discovery. truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
