Optical/UV-to-X-Ray Echoes from the Tidal Disruption Flare ASASSN-14li

Optical/UV-to-X-Ray Echoes from the Tidal Disruption Flare ASASSN-14li

We carried out the first multi-wavelength (optical/UV and X-ray) photometric reverberation mapping of a tidal disruption flare (TDF) ASASSN-14li. We find that its X-ray variations are correlated with and lag the optical/UV fluctuations by 32 ± 4 days. Based on the direction and the magnitude of the...
