Description: Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) reside in the centers of most galaxies, but the processes by which they accrete material, launch jets, and shape the galaxies around them remain poorly understood. Occasionally, a star wandering too close to a SMBH will be torn apart by tidal forces, briefly shining light on these questions as the SMBH gobbles up stellar debris. These tidal disruption events (TDEs) provide a valuable opportunity to test theories of SMBH accretion and to study the formation and gr
