Abstract:We present the results from a dense multi-wavelength (optical/UV, (IR), and X-ray) followup campaign of the nuclear transient AT 2017gge, covering a total of 1698 days from the transient's discovery. The bolometric light-curve, the black body temperature and radius, as well as the broad H and He 𝜆5876 emission lines and their evolution with time, are all consistent with a TDE nature. A soft X-ray flare is detected with a delay of ∼200 days with respect to the optical/UV peak and it is rapidly followed by the … Show more
