Join a special seminar lecture exploring the fascinating world of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) presented by Or Graur from the University of Portsmouth. Delve into the phenomenon of luminous, transient flares that occur when stars are torn apart by supermassive black holes' gravitational fields. Learn about the characteristics of TDE host galaxies, their formation mechanisms, and discover how these rare events are detected through spectroscopic surveys like SDSS and DESI by identifying high-ionization iron lines. Explore the broader implications of TDEs as valuable tools for understanding supermassive black hole and AGN physics, including their role as natural X-ray machines for studying gas distributions near black holes.
