Relativistic tidal disruption events
In March 2011 Swift detected an extremely luminous and long-lived outburst from the nucleus of an otherwise quiescent, low luminosity (LMC-like) galaxy. Named Swift J1644+57, its combination of high-energy luminosity (1048 ergs s−1 at peak), rapid X-ray variability (factors of >100 on timescales...
