Using NASA’s Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE), astronomers from South Korea and China have detected a mid-infrared flare in an active spiral galaxy known as NGC 3786. The researchers assume that this peculiar flare may have originated from a tidal disruption event (TDE). The discovery was detailed in a paper published August 17 on the arXiv pre-print server.
