The Peak of the Fallback Rate from Tidal Disruption Events - Dependence on Stellar Type

Explore a 22-minute conference talk examining the peak fallback rate in tidal disruption events (TDEs) and its dependence on stellar type. Delivered by Ananya Bandopadhyay from Syracuse University 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 fascinating world of TDEs, where stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes, creating luminous accretion flares that offer unique insights into 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. Gain valuable knowledge from this collaborative effort to bridge theory and observation in the field of TDEs, aimed at deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time.
