Explore evidence for stellar-mass tidal disruption events (TDEs) in this 32-minute conference talk by Matt Nicholl from Queen's Belfast. Delve into the characteristics of luminous, fast-cooling transients found in the outskirts of elliptical galaxies. Recorded as part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, gain insights into the latest research on TDEs, their detection methods, and implications for understanding galactic nuclei and central black holes. Examine the connections between TDEs and related phenomena such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries, and discover the most pressing questions in TDE theory and observation.
