TDEs with LSST

Understand

We investigate the prospects of observing Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) with different LSST cadences proposed with the White Paper call.

• We study their detection rates, the quality of their light curves and discuss which cadences sample TDEs better before or during the peak of the light curve.
• We suggest some constraints on the observing cadences that we believe will increase the number of reliable classifications of TDEs, in particular a WFD survey with 2 visits in different filters every night or at least every second night, observing the extra-galactic sky.
