Cooling Envelope Model for Tidal Disruption Events

Explore a 43-minute conference talk on the Cooling Envelope Model for Tidal Disruption Events presented by Brian Metzger from Columbia University. Recorded as part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation delves into the modeling of tidal disruption events (TDEs) and their impact on understanding galactic nuclei and supermassive black holes. Gain insights into recent advances in TDE research, connections to related phenomena like variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries, and discover the most pressing questions in TDE theory and observation. Learn from experts in the field as they discuss the potential of TDEs to serve as a collective Rosetta Stone for deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time.
