核心概念
文章認為,潮汐破壞事件(TDE)中觀測到的後期無線電耀斑,是由於超大質量黑洞周圍的星體潮汐破壞過程中產生的外流與星周氣體雲相互作用而產生的。
統計資料
部分 TDE 在光學峰值後數百天出現後期無線電耀斑,無線電亮度為 10^38∼39 erg/s。
外流速度約為光速的 0.2 到 0.6 倍,總質量約為太陽質量的 10^-3 到 10^-1 倍,噴射持續時間約為一個月到一年。
氣體雲距離超大質量黑洞的距離約為 0.1 到 1 秒差距。
引述
"Close encounter between a star and a supermassive black hole (SMBH) results in the tidal disruption of the star, known as a tidal disruption event (TDE)."
"Recently, a few TDEs, e.g., ASASSN-15oi and AT2018hyz, have shown late-time (hundreds of days after their UV/optical peaks) radio flares with radio luminosities of 10^38∼39 erg/s."
"Here we investigate a scenario that the late-time radio flares come from the interaction of the outflow with the circum-nuclear gaseous clouds, in addition to the slow-evolving emission component due to the outflow-diffuse medium interaction."
