Abstract (from CDS):

We present the optical light curves of the tidal disruption event AT 2023clx in the declining phase, observed with Mephisto. Combining our light curve with the ASAS-SN and ATLAS data in the rising phase, and fitting the composite multi-band light curves with MOSFiT, we estimate black hole mass for AT 2023clx is between 105.67 and 105.82M⊙. This event may be caused by either a full disruption of a 0.1 M⊙ star, or a partial disruption of a 0.99 M⊙ star, depending on the data adopted for the rising phase. Based on those fit results and the non-detection of soft X-ray photons in the first 90 days, we propose that the observed optical radiation is powered by stream-stream collision. We speculate that the soft X-ray photons may gradually emerge in 100-600 days after the optical peak, when the debris is fully circularized into a compact accretion disk.
