Central black hole mass in the distant tidal disruption event candidate of Swift J2058.4+0516

Abstract

In the manuscript, central black hole (BH) mass is estimated in the distant TDE (tidal disruption event) of Swift J2058.4+0516 as the second candidate of relativistic jet birth related to TDE. Swift J2058.4+0516 have quite different BH masses estimated through different indirect methods in the literature. Therefore, it is necessary and interesting to determine the central BH mass in Swift J2058.4+0516 by one another independent method. Here, based on the theoretical TDE model applied to describe the long-term time-dependent X-ray variabilities of Swift J2058.4+0516, the central BH mass can be well determined to be around 1.05-0.29+0.39×105 M, after kind considerations of suggested intrinsic beaming effects from such relativistic jet tightly related to TDE. Moreover, the Swift J2058.4+0516 is an unique object in the space of BH masses versus energy transfer efficiencies of the reported TDE candidates, providing interesting clues to detect and/or anticipate candidates of relativistic TDE to make the birth of relativistic jets.
