Tidal disruptions of close white dwarf binaries by intermediate mass black holes
Aryabrat Mahapatra, Adarsh Pandey, Pritam Banerjee +1
We perform a suite of numerical simulations of tidal disruption events, using smoothed particle hydrodynamics, for a close binary system consisting of two low-mass white dwarfs, an…
Relativistic Tidal Disruption in Black Hole and Wormhole Backgrounds
Pritam Banerjee, Kowsona Chakraborty, Niles Mondal +1
Black holes (BHs) and wormholes (WHs) are characterized by distinct spacetime geometries, whose differences become pronounced close to the central objects. A useful way to probe su…
Tidal encounters of close white dwarf binaries with spinning black holes
Aryabrat Mahapatra, Adarsh Pandey, Pritam Banerjee +1
When a stellar binary encounters a spinning black hole, interesting phenomena might result due to the mutual interaction between the binary spin, orbital angular momentum and the b…
Partial tidal disruption of White Dwarfs in off-equatorial orbits around Kerr black holes
Aryabrat Mahapatra, Adarsh Pandey, Debojyoti Garain +1
We present the results of a suite of numerical simulations using smoothed particle hydrodynamics to study partial tidal disruption events (TDEs) of white dwarfs (WDs) in off-equato…
Partial tidal disruptions of spinning eccentric white dwarfs by spinning intermediate mass black holes
Debojyoti Garain, Tapobrata Sarkar
Intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs, ) are often dubbed as the missing link between stellar mass () and super-massive ($\gtrsim 10…
