Optical follow-up of the tidal disruption event iPTF16fnl: new insights from X-shooter observations

We present the results from Nordic Optical Telescope and X-shooter follow-up campaigns of the tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF16fnl, covering the first $\sim$100 days after the transient discovery. We followed the source photometrically until the TDE emission was no longer detected above the host galaxy light. The bolometric luminosity evolution …
