NICER observation list: Target ID 357301

While compact objects undergoing regular, long-term accretion (such as normal AGN) are common, extreme transient accretion events associated with the tidal disruption of a star provide a novel way to probe both the physics of accretion and black holes. These tidal disruption events (TDEs) emit across the electromagnetic spectrum, with a significant part of this emission falling in the X-ray energy band. Here, we propose to perform multi-epoch NICER observations of a nearby, X-ray bright TDE as discovered or detected by the All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN). Complemented by ground based and space-based UV/optical observations, these observations will allow us to fully characterise the nature of the X-ray emission as it evolves.
