11	12 GRAPPA Seminar GRAPPA Seminar Starts: 12/11/2018 - 11:00 am Ends: 12/11/2018 - 12:00 pm Location: C4.174 Description: Title: Lessons on Super-Eddington Accretion Learnt from Tidal Disruption Events Speaker: Jane Dai In a tidal disruption event (TDE), a star approaches very close to a supermassive black hole and is therefore torn apart by the overpowering tidal force. Stellar debris is then fed to the black hole at a rate largely exceeding the Eddington accretion rate. Therefore, TDEs provide a unique opportunity for studying black hole super-Eddington accretion in the local universe. In this talk, I will first give a review of TDE theory and multi-wavelength observations. Then I will talk about the results of our general-relativistic radiation magnetohydrodynamic simulations of TDE super-Eddington disks. Winds and relativistic jets are launched from the radiation-pressure dominated thick disks. The total luminosity can exceed the Eddington luminosity. The emission produced from the inner disk is heavily reprocessed in the winds, and the observed flux and spectral energy distribution sensitively depend on the viewing angle of the observer. I will show how this model can solve some of the puzzles posed by latest TDE observations. More details... •	13	14	15	16	17

The colloquium will be followed by a short panel discussion on the topic of diversity, focusing on the similarities and differences between the situation in India and the situation in the Netherlands. After the colloquium drinks will be served at the Academisch Kwartier in the main hall of Science Park 904.
