Probing quiescent black holes with tidal disruption events
Event Start:
2019-03-19T11:00:00
Event End:
2019-03-19T12:30:00
Event Information:
Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) reside at the heart of most galaxies, with the most direct evidence of these massive objects arising from the detection of an Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). However, for quiescent BHs in which accretion occurs at a much lower rate, it is more difficult to probe the nature of these sources using similar techniques as those used for AGN.
Event Location:
Hennings 318
Speaker:
Katie Auchettl, DARK/Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen.
