• A Unified Model for Tidal Disruption Events (2018, background): “It has been proposed that collisions of debris streams during the disk-formation phase can also produce optical emissions (Piran et al. 2015; Jiang et al. 2016b).”
• Disc formation from tidal disruptions of stars on eccentric orbits by Schwarzschild black holes (2015, result): “This roughly agrees with the value found by Shiokawa et al. (2015), scaling their results to our parameters for the black hole and the star (Piran et al. 2015).”
• Weighing Black Holes Using Tidal Disruption Events (2018, background): “Even if some energy is deposited by circularization at large distances (Piran et al. 2015), the energy will be primarily dissipated by processes that operate closest to the black hole simply because the velocities there are the greatest.”
• Revisiting Optical Tidal Disruption Events with iPTF16axa (2017, background): “12 demonstrates that all measurements of the helium-to-hydrogen line ratio in TDEs, with the exception of the early epochs of ASASSN-14ae, display a helium enhancement compared to the nebular prediction assuming solar abundance.”
• A bright year for tidal disruptions (2015, background): “…are collisions between the eccentric streams of stellar debris created during the disruption, which may contribute to the process of debris circularization (e.g., Hayasaki et al. 2013, Cheng & Bogdanović 2014, Hayasaki et al. 2015, Shiokawa et al. 2015, Piran et al. 2015, Bonnerot et al. 2015).”
• The fast, luminous ultraviolet transient AT2018cow: extreme supernova, or disruption of a star by an intermediate-mass black hole? (2018, background): “The similarity of the peak luminosity of AT2018cow to other UV/optical TDEs (Hung et al. 2017) and the expected energy dissipation rate from the circularization process of 1044(MBH/10 6M⊙) −1/6 erg s−1 (Piran et al. 2015) support this interpretation.”
• ASASSN-15oi: a rapidly evolving, luminous tidal disruption event at 216 Mpc (2016, background): “Variants of these possibilities appear in recent theoretical models (e.g., Metzger & Stone 2015; Piran et al. 2015; Strubbe & Murray 2015; Svirski, Piran & Krolik 2015).”
