Caption: Figure 15.
Bolometric luminosity of PS16dtm (black points) as compared to an ensemble of model realizations produced with TDEFit (gray lines) in the rest frame of PS16dtm. The dashed blue line shows the Eddington luminosity given the assumed fixed black hole mass of ﹩{10}^{6}{M}_{\odot }﹩, whereas the dashed purple line shows the AGN luminosity prior to the flare. The projected behavior of the flare suggests that it will remain bright for years.
