Scientific paper

Luminous UV/X-ray flares are predicted to occur when a star is tidally disrupted by a galaxy's central supermassive black hole, and some fraction of the tidal debris is accreted. The GALEX Deep Imaging Survey (DIS) has the ideal depth, wavelength coverage, and temporal sampling for detecting flares from tidal disruption events in the nuclei of galaxies over a large range of redshifts. We propose to continue our approved Chandra Cycle 7 TOO program to follow-up candidate tidal disruption flares discovered by GALEX. Chandra imaging is critical for measuring the temperature, luminosity, and lightcurve of the tidal disruption flares, which are direct probes of the mass of the central black hole.
