A Luminous Red Optical Flare and Hard X-Ray Emission in the Tidal Disruption Event AT 2024kmq

We present the optical discovery and multiwavelength follow-up observations of AT 2024kmq, a likely tidal disruption event (TDE) associated with a supermassive ( M _BH  ∼ 10 ^8 M _⊙ ) black hole in a massive galaxy at z = 0.192. The optical light curve of AT 2024kmq exhibits two distinct peaks: an e...
