Partial Tidal Disruptions of Spinning Eccentric White Dwarfs by Spinning Intermediate Mass Black Holes
Offered By: Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore a 27-minute conference talk on partial tidal disruptions of spinning eccentric white dwarfs by spinning intermediate mass black holes. Delivered by Debojyoti Garain from IIT Kanpur at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation was part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference. Delve into the complex physics of tidal disruption events (TDEs), where stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes, creating luminous accretion flares that offer insights into galactic nuclei and central black holes. Learn about recent advances in TDE understanding, connections to related phenomena like variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries, and outstanding questions in the field. Gain valuable knowledge from this specialized talk that contributes to bridging theory and observation in the study of TDEs and their potential for deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time.
