Predicted EIC flux of GeV gamma rays for a jetted TDE at z ∼ 0.01. The blue line shows the EIC emission produced by inverse-Compton scattering of thermal photons from a super-Eddington accretion disk by the electrons responsible for the prompt X-ray emission. The black solid and dashed lines represent the sensitivities of Fermi/LAT and CTAO, respectively, for an exposure time of 105 s. Since the EIC emission is produced by the same electrons that power the prompt emission, it is expected to be approximately contemporaneous with the prompt emission.
