The Luminosity Function of Tidal Disruption Events from Fallback-powered Emission: Implications for the Black Hole Mass Function

Tidal disruption events (TDEs), in which a star is destroyed by the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), are being observed at a high rate owing to the advanced state of survey science. One of the properties of TDEs that is measured with increasing statistical reliability is the...
