Testing Models with Long-Term Monitoring of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions

Explore a 28-minute conference talk on testing models with long-term monitoring of Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) presented by Joheen Chakraborty from MIT. Delivered at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics' "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference, this presentation delves into the intersection of tidal disruption events (TDEs) and variable Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). Gain insights into recent advances in understanding TDEs, their connection to related astrophysical phenomena, and the challenges in bridging theory and observation. Learn about the potential of TDEs as tools for deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time and the ongoing efforts to unravel the mysteries of galactic nuclei and their central black holes.
