iPTF16fnl: A Faint and Fast Tidal Disruption Event in an E+A Galaxy
We present ground-based and Swift observations of iPTF16fnl, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) discovered by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) survey at 66.6 Mpc. The light curve of the object peaked at an absolute mag M[subscript g] = -17.2. The maximum bolometric luminosity (f...
