TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the discovery by the intermediate Palomar Transient Factory (iPTF) of a candidate tidal disruption event (TDE) iPTF16axa at 0.108, and presented its broadband photometric and spectroscopic evolution from 3 months of follow-up observations with ground-based telescopes and Swift.
