Scientific paper

Galaxy clusters are natural targets for studies of rare, luminous transients and we have undertaken an X-ray survey of rich galaxy clusters for tidal disruption flares. We introduce the first results our study and identify a candidate tidal disruption event that exhibits characteristics consistent with theoretical predictions and known examples of these rare events. Its peak observed luminosity is between 0.6× 10^{43} and 1.3× 10^{43} ergs s^{-1} although its unobserved peak could be as high as ≈10^{45} ergs s^{-1}. Its spectrum is supersoft, consistent with a blackbody of kT=0.12 keV.
