Luminous UV/X-ray flares are predicted to occur in the nuclei of inactive galaxies when a star is tidally disrupted by the galaxy's central supermassive black hole (SMBH), and the bound fraction of the tidal debris is accreted. The GALEX Ultra-Deep Imaging Survey (UDIS) has the ideal depth, wavelength coverage, and temporal sampling for detecting flares from TDEs in the nuclei of galaxies over a large range of redshifts. We propose to catch the decay of candidate tidal disruption flares discovered in the UDIS with rapid follow-up TOO Chandra observations, and measure for the first time, the early phase of the decay of a tidal disruption flare in detail in the soft and hard X-rays.
