Explore a 27-minute conference talk on unraveling the complexity of tidal disruption events through multi-wavelength observations of ASASSN-15oi. Delivered by Aprajita Hajela from the University of Copenhagen, this presentation is part of the "Anticipating the Rising Tide of Tidal Disruption Events: Theory and Observation" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics. Delve into the fascinating world 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. Learn about recent advances in wide-field survey capabilities that have accelerated TDE detection rates across the electromagnetic spectrum. Examine the theoretical uncertainties in TDE modeling and the challenges in using these events to decipher black hole demographics across cosmic time. Discover how this conference aims to unite astronomers working on TDEs and related fields such as variable Active Galactic Nuclei and X-ray binaries, highlighting recent advances, making connections to related astrophysical phenomena, and identifying outstanding questions in TDE theory and observation.
