Extended Emission-line Regions in Poststarburst Galaxies Hosting Tidal Disruption Events
We report the discovery of an extended emission-line region (EELR) in MUSE observations of Markarian 950, a nearby ( z = 0.01628) poststarburst (PSB) galaxy that hosted the tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF 16fnl. The EELR requires a nonstellar ionizing continuum with a luminosity ${L}_{\mathrm{ion}...
