Sebastian Gomez (Harvard CfA), Peter Blanchard (Harvard CfA), Daichi Hiramatsu (Harvard CfA), Harsh Kumar (Harvard CfA), Edo Berger (Harvard CfA), Suvi Gezari (STScI) report/s a classification of object: TDE 2024rny
Type: TDERedshift: 0.1055
Remarks: 2024rny was selected as a possible TDE by our FLEET program with a P(TDE) = 0.84 (Gomez et al., 2023, ApJ, 949, 113). The redshift of z = 0.1055 was determined host emission lines. We determine the source is consistent with being a TDE given the presence of strong Helium, broad H-alpha, and Bowen fluorescence lines. We find a close match to the known TDE AT2019cho.
