Why Do Tidal Disruption Events Shine in Optical and Radio More Than X-ray

Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube

Overview

Explore a 32-minute conference talk examining why tidal disruption events (TDEs) emit more strongly in optical and radio wavelengths compared to X-rays. Delivered by Fangyi (Fitz) Hu from Monash University at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics conference on Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events. Delve into the physics of these cosmic phenomena, where stars are torn apart by supermassive black holes, creating luminous accretion flares. Gain insights into the latest theoretical models and observational data that shed light on the electromagnetic spectrum of TDEs. Understand the implications for studying galactic nuclei, black hole demographics, and related astrophysical events like variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries.
