Delayed Radio Flares - A New Phenomenon in Tidal Disruption Events
Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a 31-minute conference talk on delayed radio flares, a newly discovered phenomenon in tidal disruption events (TDEs), presented by Assaf Horesh from Hebrew University. Delve into the latest research on these cosmic occurrences, where stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes, resulting in luminous accretion flares. Gain insights into how delayed radio flares contribute to our understanding of galactic nuclei and central black holes. 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 bridges the gap between theoretical modeling and observational data in TDE research. Discover how recent advances in wide-field survey capabilities have accelerated TDE detection rates and learn about the challenges in interpreting these observations. Connect this phenomenon to related fields such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries, and explore its potential for deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time.
