Explore a 29-minute conference talk on observations of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) and other nuclear transients presented by Iair Arcavi from Tel Aviv 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, delve into the latest advancements in understanding TDEs and their role in providing insights into galactic nuclei and supermassive black holes. Examine the accelerated detection rates of these events due to improved wide-field survey capabilities across the electromagnetic spectrum. Investigate the theoretical uncertainties in TDE modeling and the challenges in using them to decipher black hole demographics across cosmic time. Gain valuable knowledge on the connections between TDEs and related phenomena such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries, while exploring outstanding questions in TDE theory and observation.
