TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that a star with the same mass as the Sun could be disrupted outside the event horizon if the black hole were spinning rapidly, and the rapid spin and high black hole mass can explain the high luminosity of this event.

A Spectroscopic Search for White Dwarf Companions to 101 Nearby M Dwarfs
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented an intermediate resolution spectroscopy over the wavelength range 3000-25000 \AA\ of 101 nearby M dwarfs (dMs), observed with the Very Large Telescope X-Shooter spectrograph.

TL;DR: In the version of this Letter originally published the estimated energy radiated by ASASSN-15lh up to 25 May 2016 was incorrect and should have read 1.88 ± 0.19 × 1052 erg.
