This project aims to understand the unexplored population of non-active or quiescent supermassive black holes (SMBHs) using tidal disruption events - the multi-wavelength outburst resulting from a star being ripped apart by the tidal forces of the SMBH. This project will increase our understanding of the transient and accretion properties of SMBHs in a broad range of galaxies, while the expected outcomes include novel techniques for distinguishing different types of extreme SMBH emission and characterisation of the environments where these extreme transient events occur. These outcomes will facilitate the identification of transient SMBH events and enhance the scientific return of the next generation of international optical surveys.

这个项目的目的是了解未探索的人口的非活动或静止的超大质量黑洞（SMBH）使用潮汐破坏事件-多波长的爆发所造成的星星被撕开的SMBH的潮汐力。该项目将增加我们对各种星系中SMBH的瞬态和吸积特性的理解，而预期的成果包括区分不同类型的极端SMBH发射和描述这些极端瞬态事件发生的环境的新技术。这些成果将有助于识别瞬态SMBH事件，并提高下一代国际光学调查的科学回报。
