Rapid Accretion State Transitions following the Tidal Disruption Event AT2018fyk

Following a tidal disruption event (TDE), the accretion rate can evolve from quiescent to near-Eddington levels and back over timescales of months to years. This provides a unique opportunity to study the formation and evolution of the accretion flow around supermassive black holes (SMBHs). We prese...
