Characterizing the millimeter emission from tidal disruption event AT2022cmc.

Abstract

We ask for MUSTANG2 Observing time as part of a program to monitor a tidal disruption event that is producing relativistic jets - something that occurs less than once in a decade. Observations with a cadence of approximately once a week would allow us probe the environment around a supermassive black hole at sub-parsec scales which are otherwise unobservable in all but the very closest galaxies. MUSTANG2 observations will compliment other observing programs and provide a vital link between low (<35 GHz) and high (>200 GHz) observations.
