Excited to share our work on a ✨unique✨ tidal disruption event, AT 2020nov! In this paper, we address the question of how a TDE can produce double-peaked Balmer emission lines while maintaining narrower velocity widths than typical double-peaked TDEs. 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2412.12991
AT 2020nov: Evidence for Disk Reprocessing in a Rare Tidal Disruption Event
We present a detailed analysis of AT 2020nov, a tidal disruption event (TDE) in the center of its host galaxy, located at a redshift of $z = 0.083$. AT 2020nov exhibits unique features, including doub...
