The Unluckiest Star: A Spectroscopically Confirmed Repeated Partial Tidal Disruption Event AT 2022dbl
The unluckiest star orbits a supermassive black hole elliptically. Every time it reaches the pericenter, it shallowly enters the tidal radius and gets partially tidally disrupted, producing a series of flares. Confirmation of a repeated partial tidal disruption event (pTDE) requires not only evidenc...
