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…
Using the Hills Mechanism to Generate Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events and ASASSN-14ko
M. Cufari, Eric R. Coughlin, C. J. Nixon
Periodic nuclear transients have been detected with increasing frequency, with one such system -- ASASSN-14ko -- exhibiting highly regular outbursts on a timescale of d…
