A Bright First Day for Tidal Disruption Events

Stream–stream collision may be an important prepeak energy dissipation mechanism in tidal disruption events (TDEs). We perform local three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic simulations in a wedge geometry including the gravity to study stream self-crossing with an emphasis on resolving the collisio...
