JWST’s First View of Tidal Disruption Events: Compact, Accretion-driven Emission Lines and Strong Silicate Emission in an Infrared-selected Sample

JWST’s First View of Tidal Disruption Events: Compact, Accretion-driven Emission Lines and Strong Silicate Emission in an Infrared-selected Sample

Mid-infrared (MIR) emission from tidal disruption events (TDEs) is a powerful probe of the circumnuclear environment around dormant supermassive black holes. This emission arises from the reprocessing of intrinsic emission into thermal MIR emission by circumnuclear dust. While the majority of optica...
