The superluminous transient ASASSN-15lh as a tidal disruption event from a Kerr black hole

When a star passes within the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole, it will be torn apart. For a star with the mass of the Sun (M ⊙) and a non-spinning black hole with a mass <10 8 M ⊙, the tidal radius lies outside the black hole event horizon2 and the disruption results in a luminous flare...
