Description

I will discuss the current challenges in connecting simulations and observations of tidal disruption events, which are a novel, key multi-messenger probe of astrophysical black holes and their environments. I will then focus on the exciting prospect to use radio observations by MWA to shed new light on the physical nature of TDEs. Such observations would be complementary to others already carried out in the radio at higher
frequency bands, allowing to study in a new way the puzzling late-time emission of some TDEs.
