Repeating Partial Tidal Encounters of Sun-like Stars Leading to their Complete Disruption
Chang Liu, Ricardo Yarza, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz
Stars grazing supermassive black holes on bound orbits may produce periodic flares over many passages, known as repeating partial tidal disruption events (TDEs). Here, we present 3…
Rethinking Thorne-Żytkow Object Formation: The Fate of X-ray Binary LMC X-4 and Implications for Ultra-long Gamma-ray Bursts
Tenley Hutchinson-Smith, Rosa Wallace Everson, Angela A. Twum +5
We present a start-to-end simulation aimed at studying the long-term fate of high-mass X-ray binaries and whether a Thorne-Å»ytkow object (TÅ»O) might ultimately be assembled. We a…
The Evolution of Binaries Embedded Within Common Envelopes
Alejandra Rosselli-Calderon, Ricardo Yarza, Ariadna Murguia-Berthier +5
Triple stellar systems allow us to study stellar processes that cannot be attained in binary stars. The evolutionary phases in which the stellar members undergo mass exchanges can…
Formation of Stripped Stars From Stellar Collisions in Galactic Nuclei
C. Gibson, F. KıroÄlu, J. C. Lombardi +7
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) are an important way to probe the properties of stellar populations surrounding supermassive black holes. Observed spectra of several TDEs, such as A…
