Hard X-ray emission from a Compton scattering corona in large black hole mass tidal disruption events
- Abstract:
-
We extend the relativistic time-dependent thin-disc TDE model to describe non-thermal (2-10 keV) X-ray emission produced by the Compton up-scattering of thermal disc photons by a compact electron corona, developing analytical and numerical models of the evolving non-thermal X-ray light curves. In the simplest cases, these X-ray light curves follow power-law profiles in time. We suggest that TDE discs act in many respects as scaled-up versions of XRB discs, and that such discs should undergo s...
