Annual unlensed TDE detection rates as a function of the peak brightness, m_lim, peak, at T = 2 × 10⁴ K for L₁ in solid lines and for L₂ shown in dotted lines. The limiting magnitudes for the different filters of ZTF and LSST surveys are within the gray and pink shaded areas, respectively. These limiting magnitudes are 0.7 brighter than the survey limiting magnitude m_{lim, survey} (i.e., m_lim, peak = m_{lim, survey} − 0.7), denoted by LSST1, in order for TDEs to have multiple detections near their peak brightness above the limit m_{lim, survey}.
