Can Quasi-Periodic Eruptions Shed Light on Tidal Disruption Events?

Explore the potential connections between Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) and Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) in this 29-minute conference talk by Alessia Franchini from Zurich. Recorded at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics as part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference, delve into the latest research on these astrophysical phenomena. Examine how QPEs might provide insights into TDEs, which occur when stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes, and consider the implications for understanding galactic nuclei and black hole properties. Gain valuable knowledge about recent advances in TDE research, related astrophysical events, and outstanding questions in the field as presented by experts in astronomy and astrophysics.
