Very interesting target: the X-ray emission detected by Einstein Probe is linked to a newly discovered Tidal Disruption Event named [TDE 2026aetp](https://astro-colibri.com/event:TNS2026aetp?science_mode=true)

See also: [2026aetp | Transient Name Server](https://www.wis-tns.org/object/2026aetp)

This is a rare case for very early detection+classification of an (X-ray emitting) TDE. Long-term follow-up over the next weeks (possibly months) is highly encouraged.
