Couverture de l’ouvrage The Tidal Disruption of Stars by Massive Black Holes

This volume provides an overview of the fast-developing field of tidal disruption events. For several decades, astronomers speculated that a hapless star could wander too close to a massive black hole and be torn apart by tidal forces. Yet it is only with the recent advent of wide-field transient surveys that such events have been detected.

Written by a team of prominent researchers, the chapters detail the discoveries made so far in this burgeoning field of study across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, from gamma-rays through X-rays, ultra-violet, optical, infrared, and radio. In addition, they show how tidal disruption events can be used to study the properties of otherwise undetectable supermassive black holes; the populations and dynamics of stars in galactic nuclei; the physics of black hole accretion, including the potential to detect relativistic effects near a SMBH; and the physics of (radio) jet formation and evolution in a pristine environment.

Finally, the book outlines important outstanding questions about TDEs. With more than 100 color images, the volume will be useful to researchers and others interested in learning more about this promising area of astrophysics.

Prof. Dr. Peter G. Jonker is Professor in Observational High Energy Astrophysics at Radboud University, the Netherlands and Senior Scientist at SRON, Netherlands Institute for Space Research. He obtained a PhD from the University of Amsterdam. As a post-doc he worked at Cambridge University in the U.K. on a Marie Curie fellowship and as a Chandra fellow at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics. Next, he returned to the Netherlands to work at SRON and Radboud University. His main research interests are the formation and evolution of black holes.

Iair pronounced (“ya-eer”) Arcavi is an observational astrophysicist who studies high energy transients. Arcavi is particulary interested in supernovae, tidal dirsuption events, and neutron star mergers, and in using novel observational techniques to capture their first light, to observe rapidly-evolving events continously, and to systamtically build samples of rare events. For these purposes Arcavi works mainly with the Las Cumbres Observatory global network of robotic telescopes, is involved in the development of the new SoXS spectroraph, and is a member of the BlackGEM survey. In addition, Arcavi develops tools, such as “followup marshals”, to better make use of rapid-response facilities, and to exploit (while not being overwhelmed by) firehose astronomical alert streams.

Sterl Phinney, Professor of Theoretical Astrophysics at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) since 1985, received his PhD from the University of Cambridge in 1983, followed by two years at the Institute for Advanced Study, Princeton. He wrote his first paper on the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes in 1989. His other fields include the theory of accretion disks and extraction of energy from black holes in radio jets, millisecond pulsars, binary stars, globular cluster dynamics, fast radio bursts, and sources of gravitational waves. Phinney chaired the LISA Mission D
