The captivating realm of tidal disruption events is explored in this comprehensive volume, offering a comprehensive overview of the rapidly evolving field. For decades, astronomers have speculated about the fate of stars that venture too close to colossal black holes, subjected to the devastating tidal forces that could tear them apart. However, it was only with the recent emergence of wide-field transient surveys that these events have been detected and documented.
Written by a team of esteemed researchers, the chapters in this book delve into the groundbreaking discoveries made in this burgeoning field, spanning the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from gamma-rays to X-rays, ultra-violet, optical, infrared, and radio. Moreover, they showcase the invaluable insights that tidal disruption events provide into the enigmatic properties of supermassive black holes, the intricate dynamics of stars within galactic nuclei, the intricate physics of black hole accretion, including the potential for detecting relativistic effects near a SMBH, and the intricate physics of (radio) jet formation and evolution in pristine environments.
Furthermore, the book outlines critical unanswered questions about TDEs, fueling further exploration and deepening our understanding of this captivating area of astrophysics. Accompanied by over 100 captivating color images, this volume serves as a valuable resource for researchers and enthusiasts alike, eager to delve deeper into the mysteries of tidal disruption events and the profound implications they hold for our understanding of the universe.
Originally published in Space Science Reviews in the Topical Collection "The Tidal Disruption of Stars by Massive Black Holes," this volume has now been revised and updated to reflect the latest advancements in the field.
