Partial, zombie, and full tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes
Chris Nixon, Eric Coughlin, Patrick Miles
We present long-duration numerical simulations of the tidal disruption of stars modelled with accurate stellar structures and spanning a range of pericentre distances, correspondin…
The persistence of pancakes and the revival of self-gravity in tidal disruption events
Eric R. Coughlin, C. J. Nixon, Patrick R. Miles
The destruction of a star by the tides of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) powers a bright accretion flare, and the theoretical modeling of such tidal disruption events (TDEs) can…
Fallback Rates from Partial Tidal Disruption Events
Patrick R. Miles, Eric R. Coughlin, C. J. Nixon
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when a star plunges through a supermassive black hole's tidal radius, at which point the star's self-gravity is overwhelmed by the tidal gravi…
