Title: | SKA as a powerful hunter of jetted Tidal Disruption Events | Authors: | Donnarumma, I. Rossi, E. M. Fender, R. Komossa, S. Paragi, Z. Van Velzen, S. PRANDONI, ISABELLA |
Issue Date: | 2015 | Journal: | POS PROCEEDINGS OF SCIENCE | Volume: | Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array (AASKA14) | Number: | 215 | First Page: | 54 | Abstract: | Observational consequences of the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can enable us to discover quiescent SMBHs and constrain their mass function. Moreover, observing jetted TDEs (from previously non-active galaxies) provides us with a new means of studying the early phases of jet formation and evolution in an otherwise "pristine" environment. Although several (tens) TDEs have been discovered since 1999, only two jetted TDEs have been recently discovered in hard X-rays, and only one, Swift J1644+57, has a precise localization which further supports the TDE interpretation. These events alone are not sufficient to address those science issues, which require a substantial increase of the current sample. Despite the way they were discovered, the highest discovery potential for {\em jetted} TDEs is not held by current and up-coming X-ray instruments, which will yield only a few to a few tens events per year. In fact, the best strategy is to use the Square Kilometer Array to detect TDEs and trigger multi-wavelength follow-ups, yielding hundreds candidates per year, up to $z \sim 2$. Radio and X-ray synergy, however, can in principle constrain important quantities such as the absolute rate of jetted TDEs, their jet power, bulk Lorentz factor, the black hole mass function, and perhaps discover massive black holes (MBH) with $<10^{5} M_{\odot}$. Finally, when comparing SKA results with information from optical surveys like LSST, one can more directly constrain the efficiency of jet production. | Conference Name: | Advancing Astrophysics with the Square Kilometre Array (AASKA14) | Conference Place: | Giardini Naxos, Italy | Conference Date: | 9-13 June, 2014 | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12386/24057 | URL: | https://pos.sissa.it/215/054/ | ISSN: | 1824-8039 | ISBN: | 978-1-909204-70-6 | DOI: | 10.22323/1.215.0054 | Bibcode ADS: | 2015aska.confE..54D | Fulltext: | open |
