Discovering Tidal Disruption Events in Radio Surveys

Explore the detection of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) in radio surveys through this 30-minute conference talk by Jean Somalwar from Caltech. Delve into the latest advancements in identifying these rare cosmic phenomena, where stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes, creating luminous accretion flares. Gain insights into how radio observations contribute to our understanding of galactic nuclei and central black holes. Learn about the challenges and opportunities in TDE modeling, and how these events serve as a key to deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time. Recorded as part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this talk bridges theory and observation in the evolving field of TDE research.
