The new study by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is a significant “breakthrough” for understanding Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) involving supermassive black holes.
New model tracks the remains of a star looping around a black hole.
<p>A<strong> </strong><em>new study by Hebrew University is a significant breakthrough in understanding Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) involving supermassive black holes. The new simulations, for the first time ever, accurately replicate the entire sequence of a TDE from stellar disruption to the peak luminosity of the resulting flare. This study has unveiled a previously unknown type of shockwave within TDEs, settling a longstanding debate about the energy source of the brightest phases in these events. It confirms that shock dissipation powers the brightest weeks of a...
