Probing the Subparsec Dust of a Supermassive Black Hole with the Tidal Disruption Event AT 2020mot

AT 2020mot is a typical UV/optical tidal disruption event (TDE) with no radio or X-ray signatures in a quiescent host. We find an i -band excess and rebrightening along the decline of the light curve which could be due to two consecutive dust echoes from the TDE. We model our observations following...
