Hour Timescale X-ray Variability Following a Tidal Disruption Event in a 100,000 Solar Mass Black Hole
Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Overview
Explore a 29-minute conference talk examining hour-timescale X-ray variability following a tidal disruption event in a black hole with 100,000 solar masses. Delivered by Yuhan Yao from UC Berkeley at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation is part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference. Delve into the unique insights provided by tidal disruption events into galactic nuclei properties and central black holes. Learn about recent advances in wide-field survey capabilities that have accelerated the detection of these events across the electromagnetic spectrum. Understand the theoretical uncertainties in modeling tidal disruption events and how they impact our interpretation of observations. Discover how this research connects to related fields such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries. Gain valuable knowledge about the latest developments in understanding tidal disruption events and their potential for deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time.
