SUMMARY:Profiling Massive Black Holes through Stellar Tidal Disruption
 \, Astronomy Colloquium\, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz\, UC Santa Cruz
DESCRIPTION:A star interacting with a massive black hole cannot be tre
 ated as a point mass if its gets o close to the black hole that it bec
 omes vulnerable to tidal distortions and even disruption. When a rapid
 ly changing tidal force starts to compete with a staraEuroTMs self-gra
 vity\, the material of the star responds on a complicated way. This ph
 enomenon poses an as yet unmet challenge to computer simulations. The 
 art of modeling the tidal disruption of stars by massive black holes f
 orms the main theme of my talk. Detailed simulations should tell us wh
 at happen when stars of diinotEuroerent types get tidally disrupted\, 
 and what radiation a distant observer might detect as the observationa
 l signature of such events.
