| Description | We propose continued long-term multi-epoch ultraviolet spectroscopy of ASASSN-14li, a stellar tidal disruption event (TDE) at virgul90 Mpc. Such a bright, nearby stellar TDEs provides an exceptional opportunity to study broad emission lines which describe the abundances and accretion flow of the stellar debris in one of the most important physical regimes for understanding basic TDE behavior. We also request brief XMM observations to constrain the high-energy spectral evolution on similar timescales. These observations will build upon surprising new results, and will provide an important foundation for follow-up of more ambiguous TDE candidates subsequently identified by LSST and WFIRST at higher redshifts. |

| Mission Description | The European Space Agency's (ESA) X-ray Multi-Mirror Mission (XMM-Newton) was launched by an Ariane 504 on December 10th 1999. XMM-Newton is ESA's second cornerstone of the Horizon 2000 Science Programme. It carries 3 high throughput X-ray telescopes with an unprecedented effective area, and an optical monitor, the first flown on a X-ray observatory. The large collecting area and ability to make long uninterrupted exposures provide highly sensitive observations. Since Earth's atmosphere blocks out all X-rays, only a telescope in space can detect and study celestial X-ray sources. The XMM-Newton mission is helping scientists to solve a number of cosmic mysteries, ranging from the enigmatic black holes to the origins of the Universe itself. Observing time on XMM-Newton is being made available to the scientific community, applying for observational periods on a competitive basis. |
