Incomplete UVOIR dataset

[noahfranz13]

I thought that Sjoert van Velzen and Andy Mummery's manyTDE repo contained all of the UV/Optical/IR photometry that existed on TDEs. But, I'm realizing that they restricted their catalog to optically selected TDEs. This means that the UVOIR data for many X-ray selected TDEs is missing. This issue will remain a checklist of the UVOIR data that we still need to scrape. This list shouldn't be terribly long because it just needs new optical data for X-ray discovered TDEs post-tde.space.

NOTE: Muryel Guolo's X-ray dataset paper should flush out the optical ZTF data for the x-ray selected TDEs from 2014-2021. This is not actually true, all of the optical data presented here is already in the manyTDE repo

Some notes after skimming some references

• https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3847/1538-4365/acbfba presents 2021qxv from the YSE with light curve dataset here https://zenodo.org/records/7317476
• 2017bcc --- No refereed publications as far as I can tell
• 2021msu --- No refereed publications as far as I can tell
• 2019gte --- no published photometry except for TNS as far as I can tell
• eRASSt J234403 --- It seems like there are numerous papers associated with this TDE but not necessarily public/published optical photometry
• 2020vwl --- Lot's of papers on this event
• 2021blz --- just TNS/ATel's on this
• 2019pqt --- Just TNS data available
• XMM SL2 J140446 --- it looks like just ATel's on this at first glance
• Gaia16ajq --- Data available in the supplementary data here: https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/481/1/307/5078391; mentioned in https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/493/1/477/5714763#199082690 and light curve is plotted
• Gaia16aka --- Mentioned in https://academic.oup.com/mnras/article/493/1/477/5714763#199082690 and light curve is plotted.
• OGLE 17aaj --- Lot's of papers on this event
• ASASSN-20jr --- Just TNS

I updated the above checklist accordingly.

XMM SL2 J140446 -- the paper on this has been long delayed, but I recently received a draft of it from Richard Saxton so hopefully it should be out by the end of the year. (I contributed some radio data.)

2021msu -- this was originally reported as a TDE but was later discovered to be a SN Ia. (We got a VLA observation of it before the reclassification, non-detection.)

2017bcc -- there is a paper in prep by Evan Ridley (student working with Matt Nicholl). They are now calling it an ambiguous nuclear transient. Again, should hopefully be submitted by the end of the year.

Actually the Ridley paper is already out, my bad: https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/2024MNRAS.531.1905R/abstract
