Two-body relaxation in the EMRI-TDE disk model for Quasi Periodic Eruptions
The episode discusses a paper on two-body relaxation in an EMRI-TDE disk model for Quasi Periodic Eruptions, written by Allievi et al. The hosts explore the model's predicted number densities and how physical constraints on orbital parameters like eccentricity and inclination help distinguish between stellar objects and small black holes as potential sources of these bursts.
