A new study has found evidence of black holes ‘burping’ out matter years after consuming a star…What can cause this? Can anything survive a black hole? I speak to Dr Yvette Cendes to find out more about Tidal Disruption Events. Black Holes are astrophysics enigmas and they just got weirder.
I want to say a big thanks to Yvette for jumping on a zoom call with me. If you’re interested in Astrophysics, Yvette has compiled (and consistently updating) a fantastic guide on how you can look towards it as an astronomer
