A detailed model of the tidal disruption events (TDEs) has been constructed using stellar dynamical and gas dynamical inputs that include black hole (BH) mass $M_{bullet}$, specific orbital energy $E$ and angular momentum $J$, star mass $M_{star}$ and radius $R_{star}$, and the pericenter of the star orbit $r_{p}(E,hspace{1mm}J,hspace{1mm}M_{bullet})$. We solved the steady state Fokker--Planck equation using the standard loss cone theory for the galactic density profile $rho (r) propto r^{-gamma}$ and stellar mass function $xi(m) $ where $m=M_{star}/M_{odot}$ and obtained the feeding rate of stars to the BH integrated over the phase space as $dot{N}_{t} propto M_{bullet}^beta$, where $beta= -0.3pm 0.01$ for $M_{bullet}>10^7 M_{odot}$ and $sim 6.8 hspace{1mm} times 10^{-5}$ Yr$^{-1}$ for $gamma=0.7$. We use this to model the in-fall rate of the disrupted debris, $dot{M}(E,hspace{1mm}J,hspace{1mm}m,hspace{1mm}t)$, and discuss the conditions for the disk formation, finding that the accretion disk is almost always formed for the fiduciary range of the physical parameters. We also find the conditions under which the disk formed from the tidal debris of a given star with a super Eddington accretion phase. We have simulated the light curve profiles in the relevant optical g band and soft X-rays for both super and sub-Eddington accretion disks as a function of $dot{M}(E,hspace{1mm}J,hspace{1mm}t)$. Using this, standard cosmological parameters, and mission instrument details, we predict the detectable TDE rates for various forthcoming surveys finally as a function of $gamma$.

We analyze the early growth stage of direct-collapse black holes (DCBHs) with $sim 10^{5} rm M_odot$, which are formed by collapse of supermassive stars in atomic-cooling halos at $z gtrsim 10$. A nuclear accretion disk around a newborn DCBH is grav itationally unstable and fragments into clumps with a few $10 rm M_odot$ at $sim 0.01-0.1 rm pc$ from the center. Such clumps evolve into massive population III stars with a few $10-100 rm M_odot$ via successive gas accretion and a nuclear star cluster is formed. Radiative and mechanical feedback from an inner slim disk and the star cluster will significantly reduce the gas accretion rate onto the DCBH within $sim 10^6 rm yr$. Some of the nuclear stars can be scattered onto the loss cone orbits also within $lesssim 10^6 rm yr$ and tidally disrupted by the central DCBH. The jet luminosity powered by such tidal disruption events can be $L_{rm j} gtrsim 10^{50} rm erg s^{-1}$. The prompt emission will be observed in X-ray bands with a peak duration of $delta t_{rm obs} sim 10^{5-6} (1+z) rm s$ followed by a tail $propto t_{rm obs}^{-5/3}$, which can be detectable by Swift BAT and eROSITA even from $z sim 20$. Follow-up observations of the radio afterglows with, e.g., eVLA and the host halos with JWST could probe the earliest AGN feedback from DCBHs.
A tidal disruption event (TDE) ensues when a star passes too close to the supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a galactic center and is ripped apart by the tidal field of the SMBH. The gaseous debris produced in a TDE can power a bright electromagnetic flare as it is accreted by the SMBH; so far, several dozen TDE candidates have been observed. For SMBHs with masses above $sim 10^7 M_odot$, the tidal disruption of solar-type stars occurs within ten gravitational radii of the SMBH, implying that general relativity (GR) is needed to describe gravity. Three promising signatures of GR in TDEs are: (1) a super-exponential cutoff in the volumetric TDE rate for SMBH masses above $sim 10^8 M_odot$ due to direct capture of tidal debris by the event horizon, (2) delays in accretion disk formation (and a consequent alteration of the early-time light curve) caused by the effects of relativistic precession on stream circularization, and (3) quasi-periodic modulation of X-ray emission due to global precession of misaligned accretion disks and the jets they launch. We review theoretical models and simulations of TDEs in Newtonian gravity, then describe how relativistic modifications give rise to these proposed observational signatures, as well as more speculative effects of GR. We conclude with a brief summary of TDE observations and the extent to which they show indications of these predicted relativistic signatures.

Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) are characterized by the emission of a short burst of high-energy radiation. We analyze the cumulative impact of TDEs on galactic habitability using the Milky Way as a proxy. We show that X-rays and extreme ultraviolet (XUV) radiation emitted during TDEs can cause hydrodynamic escape and instigate biological damage. By taking the appropriate variables into consideration, such as the efficiency of atmospheric escape and distance from the Galactic center, we demonstrate that the impact of TDEs on galactic habitability is comparable to that of Active Galactic Nuclei. In particular, we show that planets within distances of $sim 0.1$-$1$ kpc could lose Earth-like atmospheres over the age of the Earth, and that some of them might be subject to biological damage once every $gtrsim 10^4$ yrs. We conclude by highlighting potential ramifications of TDEs and argue that they should be factored into future analyses of inner galactic habitability.

The concept of stars being tidally ripped apart and consumed by a massive black hole (MBH) lurking in the center of a galaxy first captivated theorists in the late 1970s. The observational evidence for these rare but illuminating phenomena for probin g otherwise dormant MBHs, first emerged in archival searches of the soft X-ray ROSAT All-Sky Survey in the 1990s; but has recently accelerated with the increasing survey power in the optical time domain, with tidal disruption events (TDEs) now regarded as a class of optical nuclear transients with distinct spectroscopic features. Multiwavelength observations of TDEs have revealed panchromatic emission, probing a wide range of scales, from the innermost regions of the accretion flow, to the surrounding circumnuclear medium. I review the current census of 56 TDEs reported in the literature, and their observed properties can be summarized as follows: $bullet$ The optical light curves follow a power-law decline from peak that scales with the inferred central black hole mass as expected for the fallback rate of the stellar debris, but the rise time does not. $bullet$ The UV/optical and soft X-ray thermal emission come from different spatial scales, and their intensity ratio has a large dynamic range, and is highly variable, providing important clues as to what is powering the two components. $bullet$ They can be grouped into three spectral classes, and those with Bowen fluorescence line emission show a preference for a hotter and more compact line-emitting region, while those with only He II emission lines are the rarest class.

Tidal disruption events are an excellent probe for supermassive black holes in distant inactive galaxies because they show bright multi-wavelength flares lasting several months to years. AT2019dsg presents the first potential association with neutrino emission from such an explosive event.
