Tidal Disruption of Stars by Supermassive Black Holes

Tidal Disruption of Stars by Supermassive Black Holes

This thesis presents theoretical results on the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The multiwavelength ares produced by tidal disruption events (TDEs) have supernova-like luminosities, and associated relativistic jets can be visible to cosmological distances. TDEs probe t...
