The Birth of a Relativistic Jet Following the Disruption of a Star by a Cosmological Black Hole
Dheeraj R. Pasham, Matteo Lucchini, Tanmoy Laskar +63
A black hole can launch a powerful relativistic jet after it tidally disrupts a star. If this jet fortuitously aligns with our line of sight, the overall brightness is Doppler boos…
Simulated optical light curves of super-Eddington tidal disruption events with ZEBRA flows
R. A. J. Eyles-Ferris, R. L. C. Starling, P. T. O'Brien +2
We present simulated optical light curves of super-Eddington tidal disruption events (TDEs) using the zero-Bernoulli accretion (ZEBRA) flow model, which proposes that during the su…
Stars Crushed by Black Holes. III. Mild Compression of Radiative Stars by Supermassive Black Holes
Suman Kumar Kundu, Eric R. Coughlin, C. J. Nixon
A tidal disruption event (TDE) occurs when the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) destroys a star. For TDEs in which the star enters deep within the tidal radi…
A simple and accurate prescription for the tidal disruption radius of a star and the peak accretion rate in tidal disruption events
Eric R. Coughlin, Chris Nixon
A star destroyed by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a tidal disruption event (TDE) enables the study of SMBHs. We propose that the distance within which a star is completely de…
Spherically Symmetric Accretion onto a Compact Object through a Standing Shock: The Effects of General Relativity in the Schwarzschild Geometry
Suman Kumar Kundu, Eric R. Coughlin
A core-collapse supernova is generated by the passage of a shockwave through the envelope of a massive star, where the shock wave is initially launched from the ``bounce'' of the n…
Tidal disruption events from supermassive black hole binaries
Eric R. Coughlin, Philip J. Armitage, Chris Nixon +1
We investigate the pre-disruption gravitational dynamics and post-disruption hydrodynamics of the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries. We focus on…
