The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole
Abstract The tidal forces of a black hole can rip apart a star that passes too close to it, resulting in a stellar Tidal Disruption Event (TDE, (1)). In some such encounters, the black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet (2-6). If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line …
