Tidal disruption events (TDEs) offer a unique way to study dormant black holes. While the number of observed TDEs has grown thanks to the emergence of wide-field surveys in the past few decades, questions regarding the nature of the observed optical, UV, and X-ray emission remain. We present a uniformly selected sample of 30 spectroscopically classified TDEs from the Zwicky Transient Facility Phase I survey operations with follow-up \textit{Swift} UV and X-ray observations. Through our investigation into correlations between light curve properties, we recover a shallow positive correlation between the peak bolometric luminosity and decay timescales. We introduce a new spectroscopic class of TDE, TDE-featureless, which are characterized by featureless optical spectra. The new TDE-featureless class shows larger peak bolometric luminosities, peak blackbody temperatures, and peak blackbody radii. We examine the differences between the X-ray bright and X-ray faint populations of TDEs in this sample, finding that X-ray bright TDEs show higher peak blackbody luminosities than the X-ray faint sub-sample. This sample of optically selected TDEs is the largest sample of TDEs from a single survey yet, and the systematic discovery, classification, and follow-up of this sample allows for robust characterization of TDE properties, an important stepping stone looking forward toward the Rubin era.

The Delay Time Distribution of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions
QPE host galaxies are more likely to have recently formed a large burst of stars (burst mass fraction above 1%) than TDE host galaxies or mass- and redshift-matched controls.

ATLAS22kjn (AT 2022fpx): A Coronal Line Emitter with an Early Light Curve Bump and Mid-Infrared Dust Echo
The tidal disruption event ATLAS22kjn shows a resolved 9-day pre-peak bump, coronal lines that imply a stable ~1e6 K ionising source, and a dust echo whose covering fraction is much higher than typical TDEs.

Two Earliest Optical-UV Tidal Disruption Events Hidden in the SDSS DR7 Catalog Unveiled by the Transformer-Based Spectrum Classifier
PCA-Transformer spectrum classifier recovers two new optical-UV TDEs from SDSS DR7, including the earliest known with occurrence before MJD 52316.

The Radio Properties of Extreme Coronal Line Emitters: Constraints on the Sub-parsec Environment
About half of low-redshift ECLEs are radio-bright like TDEs/AGN; SED modeling of four shows the ECL gas is clumpy (f_V ~ 10^{-5}-10^{-2}) and spatially distinct from the radio-emitting region.

Uncertainty-Aware Tidal Disruption Event Classification : A Host-Agnostic Probabilistic Random Forest Approach
Uncertainty-aware Probabilistic Random Forest on 11 photometric light-curve features classifies TDEs without host data more stably than XGBoost and recovers 14 new candidates from ZTF.

Tidal Disruption Events with the SKA
With its projected sensitivity, low-frequency coverage, and VLBI, the SKA would shift tidal disruption event radio studies from a handful of events to hundreds, enabling population-level inference on jets, black-hole ...

Review: Accretion Disk Evolution in Tidal Disruption Events
A tidal disruption event's accretion disk is expected to undergo a thermal-viscous instability that makes it collapse from a thick to a thin state, but late-time X-ray observations challenge the timing and universalit...
