We propose a semi-analytical model for the self-intersection of the fallback stream in tidal disruption events (TDEs). When the blackhole mass exceeds a critical value M_cr, a large fraction of the shocked gas becomes unbound, in the form of a collision-induced outflow (CIO). This is because the large apsidal precession causes the stream to self-intersect near the local escape speed at radius much below the apocenter. The rest of the fallback gas is left in more tightly bound orbits and quickly… Expand

X-ray flares from the stellar tidal disruption by a candidate supermassive black hole binary
The discovery of delayed X-ray brightening around 140 days after the optical outburst in the TDE OGLE16aaa, followed by several flux dips during the decay phase implies that the reprocessing is important in theTDE early evolution, andX-ray observations are promising in revealing supermassive black hole binaries.
