Tidal double detonation: a new mechanism for a thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf induced by a tidal disruption event
Ataru Tanikawa
We suggest "tidal double detonation": a new mechanism for a thermonuclear explosion of a white dwarf (WD) induced by a tidal disruption event (TDE). Tidal detonation is also a WD e…
High-resolution hydrodynamic simulation of tidal detonation of a helium white dwarf by an intermediate mass black hole
Ataru Tanikawa
We demonstrate tidal detonation during a tidal disruption event (TDE) of a helium (He) white dwarf (WD) with by an intermediate mass black hole (IMBH) by extremely hi…
The Detection Rates of Merging Binary Black Holes Originating from Star Clusters and Their Mass Function
Michiko Fujii, Ataru Tanikawa, Junichiro Makino
Advanced LIGO achieved the first detection of the gravitational wave, which was from a merging binary black hole (BBH). In the near future, more merger events will be observed, and…
Tidal Disruption of a White Dwarf by a Black Hole: The Diversity of Nucleosynthesis, Explosion Energy, and the Fate of Debris Streams
Kojiro Kawana, Ataru Tanikawa, Naoki Yoshida
We run a suite of hydrodynamics simulations of tidal disruption events (TDEs) of a white dwarf (WD) by a black hole (BH) with a wide range of WD/BH masses and orbital parameters. W…
Does Explosive Nuclear Burning occur in Tidal Disruption Events of White Dwarfs by Intermediate Mass Black Holes ?
Ataru Tanikawa, Yushi Sato, Ken'ichi Nomoto +3
We investigate nucleosynthesis in tidal disruption events (TDEs) of white dwarfs (WDs) by intermediate mass black holes (IMBHs). We consider various types of WDs with different mas…
