Explore a 31-minute conference talk on the hydrodynamics of collisions and close encounters between compact objects and stars in dense stellar environments. Delivered by Kyle Kremer from Caltech at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation is part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference. Dive into the complex physics of tidal disruption events (TDEs), where stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes, creating luminous accretion flares that offer unique insights into galactic nuclei and central black holes. Examine recent advances in TDE detection and modeling, and understand how these events serve as a tool for deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time. Connect the study of TDEs to related fields such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries, and identify outstanding questions in TDE theory and observation.
