Extreme Coronal Line Emitters: Tidal Disruption Events in Complex Environments

Explore a 25-minute conference talk on Extreme Coronal Line Emitters and their relation to tidal disruption events (TDEs) in complex environments. Delivered by Peter Clark from the University of Portsmouth, this presentation is part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the fascinating world of TDEs, where stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes, creating luminous accretion flares that offer unique insights into galactic nuclei. Learn about recent advances in wide-field survey capabilities and their impact on TDE detection rates. Examine the theoretical uncertainties in TDE modeling and the challenges in using these events to decipher black hole demographics across cosmic time. Gain valuable knowledge on the connections between TDEs, variable Active Galactic Nuclei, and X-ray binaries, while exploring outstanding questions in TDE theory and observation.
