Radio Evolution of the Tidal Disruption Event ASASSN-19bt - Evidence for a Highly Off-Axis Relativistic Jet

Explore the radio evolution of the tidal disruption event ASASSN-19bt in this 25-minute conference talk presented by Collin Christy from the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory. Delve into evidence suggesting a highly off-axis relativistic jet associated with this cosmic phenomenon. Recorded as part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics, this presentation offers insights into the unique properties of galactic nuclei and their central black holes. Gain a deeper understanding of tidal disruption events, their detection methods, and the theoretical challenges in modeling these occurrences. Learn about the connections between TDEs and related fields such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries. Discover how this research contributes to deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time and bridges the gap between theoretical models and observational data in astrophysics.
