Population Studies of Tidal Disruption Events and their Hosts

Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube

Overview

Explore a 27-minute conference talk on population studies of tidal disruption events (TDEs) and their host galaxies. Delve into the understanding of host galaxy preferences and the origin of UV/optical emission in TDEs. Examine how these cosmic events, caused by stars being destroyed by supermassive black holes, provide unique insights into galactic nuclei and central black hole properties. Learn about the accelerated detection rates of TDEs due to advances in wide-field survey capabilities. Investigate the theoretical uncertainties in TDE modeling and the challenges in using them to decipher black hole demographics across cosmic time. Discover how this talk, part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference, aims to bridge theory and observation in the field of TDEs and related phenomena such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries.
