• Phenomenological aspects of black holes beyond general relativity (2018, background): “That tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been observed for CMOs of M ∼ 10(6)M [122] leads to a first upper bound rs(1 + ∆) ≤ rT for these CMOs [117].”
• A bright year for tidal disruptions (2015, background): “…et al. 2012), ultraviolet (e.g., Stern et al. 2004, Gezari et al. 2006, 2008, 2009), and optical (van Velzen et al. 2011, Gezari et al. 2012, Cenko et al. 2012a, Arcavi et al. 2014, Chornock et al. 2014, Holoien et al. 2014, Vinkó et al. 2015) wavelengths (see Komossa 2015 for a recent review).”
• ASASSN-15oi: a rapidly evolving, luminous tidal disruption event at 216 Mpc (2016, background): “…(e.g., Stern et al. 2004; Gezari et al. 2006, 2008, 2009), and optical (e.g., van Velzen et al. 2011; Gezari et al. 2012; Cenko et al. 2012a; Arcavi et al. 2014; Chornock et al. 2014; Holoien et al. 2014a; Vinkó et al. 2015; Holoien et al. 2016) wavelengths—see Komossa (2015) for a review.”
• PS16dtm: A Tidal Disruption Event in a Narrow-line Seyfert 1 Galaxy (2017, background): “…(Type II) and without hydrogen (Type I) and tidal disruption events (TDEs; Gezari et al. 2009; van Velzen et al. 2011; Chornock et al. 2014; Komossa 2015), as well as some events that defy a clear classification (e.g. ASASSN-15lh; Dong et al. 2016; Margutti et al. 2016; Leloudas et al.…”
• Stellar Dynamics and Stellar Phenomena Near a Massive Black Hole (2017, background): “The number of observed candidate TDEs is fast growing, and it is becoming clear that this class of variable sources has a much richer phenomenology than captured by the initial simplified models (Komossa 2015).”
• Modules for Experiments in Stellar Astrophysics ( ): Convective Boundaries, Element Diffusion, and Massive Star Explosions (2017, background): “…billion pixel digital camera (LSST Science Collaboration et al. 2017) to open new perspectives on transient objects such as tidal disruption events (Bade et al. 1996; Stern et al. 2004; Arcavi et al. 2014; Komossa 2015) and interacting close binary systems (Oluseyi et al. 2012; Korol et al. 2017).”
• A Unified Model for Tidal Disruption Events (2018, methodology): “A few TDEs were identified in the 1990s using the soft X-ray satellite ROSAT (Komossa 2015).”
• New Physical Insights about Tidal Disruption Events from a Comprehensive Observational Inventory at X-Ray Wavelengths (2016, methodology): “The detection and analysis of the observational properties of TDEs covering a wide range of redshifts can provide a wealth of knowledge about a number of important astrophysical processes (see reviews by Komossa & Zensus 2015; Komossa 2015).”
• Observational evidence for intermediate-mass black holes (2017, background): “…below 10 6 M , should have higher rates of stellar disruption than SMBHs (Wang & Merritt 2004; Stone & Metzger 2016); nonetheless, most TDEs (∼50; Komossa 2015) have been associated with SMBHs (e.g., Komossa & Bade 1999; Halpern et al. 2004; Lin et al. 2011, 2015; van Velzen et al. 2011; Cenko…”
