Detecting classical nova-like explosions with LISA
Ethan McKeever, Shu Yan Lau, Hang Yu +1
Gravitational waves from close binary white dwarfs will form the bulk of measurements obtained by the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). Previous studies have highlighted t…

Irregular Repeating Tidal Disruption Events due to Diffusive Tides
Shu Yan Lau, Ethan McKeever, Hang Yu
A repeating partial tidal disruption event (rpTDE) is typically modeled as a star on a bound orbit that is partially disrupted by a massive black hole (MBH) at each pericenter pass…

Dynamical tide modified Roche limit in eccentric, asynchronous binaries
Hang Yu, Shu Yan Lau, Ethan Mckeever +2
The Roche limit, or the threshold separation within which a celestial object (the donor) M cannot remain in a stable configuration due to a companion's tidal field, has been well e…
