 ![Top: Selected spectra from X-shooter, EFOSC0 and Binospec after subtraction of the host galaxy model (following the method outlined in the appendix). We have applied the subtraction procedure to all spectra, but here show only this subset (spanning the full range of observed phases) for clarity. Bottom: Comparison of AT0000qiz to X-shooter spectra of iPTF00fnl [from @Onori0000], the only TDE with a faster light curve evolution than AT0000qiz. The continuum has been removed using polynomial fits. The spectra shortly after maximum light are quite similar for these two events, though the Balmer lines are much weaker at late times in iPTF00fnl.[]{data-label="fig:select"}](
