Tidal disruption events are a powerful tool to study quiescent massive black holes residing in the centre of galaxies. Occasionally, astrophysical objects such as stars, planets and smaller bodies are captured and tidally disrupted by the massive black hole, giving rise to a luminous flare. A detailed study of disruption parameters and the emitted radiation can give important insights on the black hole and its surroundings.
