First light from tidal disruption events
Clément Bonnerot, Wenbin Lu, Philip F. Hopkins
When a star comes too close to a supermassive black hole, it gets torn apart by strong tidal forces in a tidal disruption event, or TDE. Half of the elongated stream of debris come…
On the formation of GW190814
Wenbin Lu, Paz Beniamini, Clément Bonnerot
The LIGO-Virgo collaboration recently reported a puzzling event, GW190814, with component masses of 23 and 2.6 solar masses. Motivated by the relatively small rate of such a coales…
Formation of an Accretion Flow
Clément Bonnerot, Nicholas Stone
After a star has been tidally disrupted by a black hole, the debris forms an elongated stream. We start by studying the evolution of this gas before its bound part returns to the o…
Simulations of Tidal Disruption Events
Giuseppe Lodato, Roseanne M. Cheng, Clement Bonnerot +1
Numerical simulations have historically played a major role in understanding the hydrodynamics of the tidal disruption process. Given the complexity of the geometry of the system,…
