Abstract:Stars can be ripped apart by tidal forces in the vicinity of a massive black hole (MBH), causing luminous flares known as tidal disruption events (TDEs). These events could be contributing to the mass growth of intermediate-mass MBHs. New samples from transient surveys can provide useful information on this unexplored growth channel. This work aims to study the demographics of TDEs by modeling the coevolution of MBHs and their galactic environments in a cosmological framework. We use the semianalytic galaxy fo… Show more
