Optical and X-ray Photometric Properties of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs)

Learn about the optical and X-ray photometric characteristics of Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) in this 49-minute astronomy lecture presented by Katie Auchettl at the ANITA Workshop 2024. Explore the complex phenomena that occur when stars are torn apart by supermassive black holes, examining both the optical and X-ray signatures these cosmic events produce. Gain insights into the latest research and observational data that help astronomers understand the behavior and properties of TDEs across different wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum.
