Sebastian Gomez (Harvard CfA), Peter Blanchard (Harvard CfA), Daichi Hiramatsu (Harvard CfA), Harsh Kumar (Harvard CfA), Edo Berger (Harvard CfA), Suvi Gezari (STScI) report/s a classification of object: TDE 2024ule

Type: TDE-H-He
Redshift: 0.111

Remarks: 2024ule was selected as a possible TDE by our FLEET program with a P(TDE) = 0.97 (Gomez et al., 2023, ApJ, 949, 113). The redshift of z = 0.111 was determined from Ca H & K absorption lines. We determine the source is consistent with being a TDE given the presence of strong Helium, and broad H-alpha. We find a close match to the known TDE 2019vcb.
