An effective model for the tidal disruption of satellites undergoing minor mergers with axisymmetric primaries
Ludovica Varisco, Massimo Dotti, Matteo Bonetti +2
According to the hierarchical formation paradigm, galaxies form through mergers of smaller entities and massive black holes (MBHs), if lurking at their centers, migrate to the nucl…
Repeating partial disruptions and two-body relaxation
Luca Broggi, Nicholas C. Stone, Taeho Ryu +4
Two-body relaxation may drive stars onto near-radial orbits around a massive black hole, resulting in a tidal disruption event (TDE). In some circumstances, stars are unlikely to u…
