Hard X-ray emission from a Compton scattering corona in large black hole mass tidal disruption events

We extend the relativistic time-dependent thin-disc TDE model to describe non-thermal (2-10 keV) X-ray emission produced by the Compton up-scattering of thermal disc photons by a compact electron corona, developing analytical and numerical models of the evolving non-thermal X-ray light curves. In th...
