Fits to the bolometric light curve during rise (top) and decline (bottom) of the light curve. Top: the photospheric radius (blue triangles) before peak grows linearly with a velocity v ≈ 1300 km s−1, while the luminosity (black circles) is best fit as L ∝ t1.8. Bottom: exponential and power-law fits to the declining bolometric light curve. The decline is much steeper than the canonical t−5/3. For comparison, iPTF16fnl and AT 2019qiz are overplotted and their bolometric light curves normalized in order for the three events to have the same peak; AT 2020wey is the fastest declining TDE to date.
