摘要:

高频次多波段观测不断揭示潮汐瓦解事件(TDEs)的多样性,从而极大地推进了我们对TDEs的认知和理解。在这项工作中,我们对TDE AT2023lli进行了密集的光学-紫外和X射线后续观测活动,并在其达到最大亮度前近两个月,于其紫外/光学光变曲线中发现了一个显著的持续约一个月的凸起。该凸起代表了迄今为止已知TDEs中与主峰间隔时间最长的情况。主紫外/光学爆发以 $t^{-4.10}$ 的速率衰减,使其成为衰减最快的光学筛选TDEs之一。此外,我们在紫外/光学峰值30天后探测到了零星的X射线辐射,并伴随着不活跃期的缩短。研究提出,紫外/光学凸起可能是由流碎片的自交叉引起的,而主峰则是由吸积过程的再处理辐射产生的。此外,我们的结果表明,衰减初期阶段的间歇性X射线辐射可能是由于吸积盘周围存在斑块状遮挡物,这是一种与非均匀再处理过程相关的现象。双TDE情景,即两颗恒星被依次瓦解,也是产生观测到的早期凸起和主峰的一个可能解释。我们预期,在诸如2.5米宽视场巡天望远镜(WFST)的深度高频次巡天等专项调查的协助下,TDEs的多色光变曲线(特别是在极早期阶段)及其底层物理机制将在不久的将来得到更好的理解。

英文摘要:

High-cadence, multiwavelength observations have continuously revealed the diversity of tidal disruption events (TDEs), thus greatly advancing our knowledge and understanding of TDEs. In this work, we conducted an intensive optical-UV and X-ray follow-up campaign of TDE AT2023lli, and found a remarkable month-long bump in its UV/optical light curve nearly two months prior to maximum brightness. The bump represents the longest separation time from the main peak among known TDEs to date. The main UV/optical outburst declines as $t^{-4.10}$, making it one of the fastest decaying optically selected TDEs. Furthermore, we detected sporadic X-ray emission 30 days after the UV/optical peak, accompanied by a reduction in the period of inactivity. It is proposed that the UV/optical bump could be caused by the self-intersection of the stream debris, whereas the primary peak is generated by the reprocessed emission of the accretion process. In addition, our results suggest that episodic X-ray radiation during the initial phase of decline may be due to the patched obscurer surrounding the accretion disk, a phenomenon associated with the inhomogeneous reprocessing process. The double TDE scenario, in which two stars are disrupted in sequence, is also a possible explanation for producing the observed early bump and main peak. We anticipate that the multicolor light curves of TDEs, especially in the very early stages, and the underlying physics can be better understood in the near future with the assistance of dedicated surveys such as the deep high-cadence survey of the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST).
