"Tasmanian Devil" Event: Unleashing the Power of Billions of Suns

An LFBOT (Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transient) named AT2022tsd, also known as the "Tasmanian Devil," has been observed emitting intense bursts of light and energy, surpassing the power of hundreds of billions of stars like our Sun. Unlike other LFBOTs, AT2022tsd displayed a unique behavior by flaring repeatedly over several months. Scientists are still uncertain about the exact source of these outbursts, but possibilities include a stellar-mass black hole, intermediate-mass black hole, or neutron star involved in tidal disruption events. The extreme energy output and prolonged bursts challenge our understanding of physics and the nature of these phenomena.
