Welcome

This is the official program website of the VLA Large Program “A Systematic Investigation of Radio Tidal Disruption Events” (beginning November 2020). We are an international team of scientists seeking to complete the first comprehensive radio study of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in the local Universe. Please click through for more about our team, latest scientific results, data access, and more!

Artist’s impression of a tidal disruption event (TDE): a star being torn apart by a supermassive black hole. Gas from the disrupted star heats up as it accretes onto the black hole, launching a new jet visible in radio light. (Image credit: NRAO/AUI/NSF/NASA)
