Accretion-Induced Spin-Up of Black Holes Through TDEs in Dense Star Clusters
Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Overview
Explore a 23-minute conference talk on accretion-induced spin-up of black holes through tidal disruption events (TDEs) in dense star clusters. Delve into research presented by Fulya Kiroglu from Northwestern University at the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Gain insights into how TDEs, caused by stars destroyed by supermassive black holes, provide unique information about galactic nuclei and central black holes. Learn about recent advances in TDE detection, theoretical modeling challenges, and connections to related phenomena like variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries. Discover how this research contributes to understanding black hole demographics across cosmic time and bridges the gap between theory and observation in astrophysics.
