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…
Tidal Disruption Disks Formed and Fed by Stream-Stream and Stream-Disk Interactions in Global GRHD Simulations
Zachary L. Andalman, Matthew T. P. Liska, Alexander Tchekhovskoy +2
When a star passes close to a supermassive black hole (BH), the BH's tidal forces rip it apart into a thin stream, leading to a tidal disruption event (TDE). In this work, we study…
The Process of Stellar Tidal Disruption by Supermassive Black Holes. The first pericenter passage
Elena M. Rossi, Nicholas C. Stone, Jamie A. P. Law-Smith +4
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are among the brightest transients in the optical, ultraviolet, and X-ray sky. These flares are set into motion when a star is torn apart by the tida…
