Abstract

Tidal disruptions of white dwarfs by intermediate-mass black holes can inform us of black hole demographics, stellar populations and dynamics in their vicinity, and the physics of accretion. We can harness the information with a combination of surveys surveys for electromagnetic observatories and low-frequency gravitational wave observations.
