A radio-emitting outflow from a tidal disruption event

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are cataclysmic astronomical phenomena that occur when a star comes too close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH), resulting in the star being torn apart by immense gravitational forces. Although TDEs are tracers of emission from the outflows or jets coming from close to the SMBHs, their broadband-radio detection is rare. In their article, Adelle Goodwin and colleagues report the radio detection of one such TDE and the subsequent monitoring campaign.
