EXPLAINING SHREDDING, “Over the last decade, dozens of TDE candidates have been discovered, and the detection of various exotic transients has renewed interest in theoretical models of TDEs. Some of the most unusual candidate events could be explained as the tidal disruption of a white dwarf (WD) by a moderately massive black hole (MBH).” (TDE = tidal disruption event).
