Explore a 26-minute conference talk by Thomas Wevers from the Space Telescope Science Institute, delivered at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics' "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference. Delve into the intriguing world of repeating nuclear transients and their relationship to tidal disruption events (TDEs), which occur when stars are destroyed by supermassive black holes. Gain insights into the latest research on these luminous accretion flares and their potential to reveal properties of galactic nuclei and central black holes. Discover how recent advances in wide-field survey capabilities have accelerated TDE detection rates and learn about the theoretical challenges in modeling these events. Connect the study of TDEs to related fields such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries, and understand their collective importance in deciphering black hole demographics across cosmic time.
