"Faint Tidal Disruption Event Detected by Astronomers"

Astronomers have discovered a new faint tidal disruption event (TDE) known as ASASSN-23bd, making it the least luminous and lowest redshift TDE observed to date. This event was detected in the active barred spiral galaxy NGC 3799, located 300 million light years away, and displayed rapid light curve rise and hydrogen-alpha emission. The findings suggest that ASASSN-23bd is a low luminosity and fast tidal disruption event, and its discovery highlights the potential for deeper sky surveys to uncover more similar events.
