Title:
The X-ray emission from Tidal Disruption Events

Abstract:
Over the last thirty years, large-scale X-ray, UV and optical surveys have
discovered flares from quiescent galaxies which are interpreted to be the
radiation signatures from the destruction of a star by a super-massive black hole. 
Initially the accretion appears to be super-Eddington, resulting in
outflows and sometimes relativistic jets but quickly decays to leave low-luminosity
emission which can last for years. In the last year we have seen 
evidence for the real-time creation of an electron corona in some events, 
a feature which is ubiquitous in persistently-accreting active galactic nuclei (AGN). 
An outstanding question is why some events show simultaneous X-ray and 
optical flares while others appear to have no X-ray or no optical variability, 
or in some cases emit an X-ray flare well after the optical flare has decayed. 
We investigate models that seek to explain this and look at the role that eRosita and 
the Einstein Probe will play in solving the mystery.
