| Description | Tidal disruption events are very interesting and rare events that can help us understand a lot about supermassive black holes and their environments. While the few tens of events known today have been targeted by telescopes across the electromagnetic spectrum, their polarized emission is poorly explored. Here we propose target of opportunity observations that will allow us to study the evolution of their polarized emission and possibly uncover hidden aspects of early accretion disk formation. |

| 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. |
