Sw 1644+57/GRB 110328A is a remarkable cosmological X-ray outburst detected by the Swift satellite. Its early-time (t ≲ 0.1 days since the trigger) X-ray emission resembles some gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), e.g., GRB 090417B. But the late-time flaring X-ray plateau lasting >40 days renders it unique. We examine the possibilities that the outburst is a super-long GRB powered either by the fallback accretion onto a nascent black hole or by a millisecond pulsar, and find out that these two scenarios can address some but not all of the main observational features. We then focus on the model of tidal disruption of a (giant) star by a massive black hole. The mass of the tidal-disrupted star is estimated to be ≳a few solar masses. A simple/straightforward argument for a magnetic origin of the relativistic outflow is presented.
