Interaction of an Outflow with Surrounding Gaseous Clouds as the Origin of Late-time Radio Flares in Tidal Disruption Events by Jialun Zhuang, Rong-Feng Shen, Guobin Mou, Wenbin Lu

“…Here, we investigate a scenario that the late-time radio flares come from the interaction of the outflow with the circumnuclear gaseous clouds, in addition to the slow-evolving emission component due to the outflow–diffuse medium interaction. We calculate the associated radio temporal and spectral signatures and find that they reproduce well the observations. …”
