SWIFT J164449.3+573451: a plunging event with a poynting-flux-dominated outflow.

GAO W.-H.

Abstract (from CDS):

Swift J164449+573451 is a peculiar outburst which is most likely powered by the tidal disruption of a star by a massive black hole. Within the tidal disruption scenario, we show that the periastron distance is considerably smaller than the disruption radius and the outflow should be launched mainly via magnetic activities (e.g., the Blandford-Znajek process), otherwise the observed long-lasting X-ray afterglow emission satisfying the relation LX ∝ {dot}M cannot be reproduced, where LX is the X-ray luminosity and {dot}M is the accretion rate. We also suggest that LX ∝ {dot}M may hold in the quick decline phase of gamma-ray bursts.
