Line-force-driven wind from a thin disk in a tidal disruption event

Context. Winds from the accretion disk in tidal disruption events (TDEs) play a key role in determining their observed emission. While winds from the super-Eddington accretion phase in TDEs have recently been studied, the properties of winds from the sub-Eddington accretion disk remain unclear. Aims. We aimed to investigate the properties of winds from the circularized sub-Eddington accretion disk in TDEs and study the line-force-driven accretion disk wind. Methods. We performed two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations using the PLUTO code to study the line-force-driven wind from the circularized accretion disk around a 106 solar mass black hole in TDEs. Results. We find that although the disk is very small in TDEs, a strong wind can be driven by line force when the disk has a luminosity greater than 20% of the Eddington luminosity. The maximum velocity of the wind can reach up to 0.3 times the speed of light. The kinematic power of wind ranges from 1 − 6% of the Eddington luminosity. Conclusions. Strong winds can be driven by line force from the thin disk around a 106 solar mass black hole in TDEs. We briefly discuss the possible radio emission from the shock when the wind collides with the surrounding medium.

Abstract

Context. Winds from the accretion disk in tidal disruption events (TDEs) play a key role in determining their observed emission. While winds from the super-Eddington accretion phase in TDEs have recently been studied, the properties of winds from the sub-Eddington accretion disk remain unclear. Aims. We aimed to investigate the properties of winds from the circularized sub-Eddington accretion disk in TDEs and study the line-force-driven accretion disk wind. Methods. We performed two-dimensional hydrodynamic simulations using the PLUTO code to study the line-force-driven wind from the circularized accretion disk around a 106 solar mass black hole in TDEs. Results. We find that although the disk is very small in TDEs, a strong wind can be driven by line force when the disk has a luminosity greater than 20% of the Eddington luminosity. The maximum velocity of the wind can reach up to 0.3 times the speed of light. The kinematic power of wind ranges from 1 − 6% of the Eddington luminosity. Conclusions. Strong winds can be driven by line force from the thin disk around a 106 solar mass black hole in TDEs. We briefly discuss the possible radio emission from the shock when the wind collides with the surrounding medium.
