The fine line between total and partial tidal disruption events
Deborah Mainetti, Alessandro Lupi, Sergio Campana +4
Flares from tidal disruption events are unique tracers of quiescent black holes at the centre of galaxies. The appearance of these flares is very sensitive to whether the star is t…
XMMSL1J063045.9-603110: a tidal disruption event fallen into the back burner
Deborah Mainetti, Sergio Campana, Monica Colpi
Black holes at the centre of quiescent galaxies can be switched on when they accrete gas that is gained from stellar tidal disruptions. A star approaching a black hole on a low ang…
Hydrodynamical simulations of the tidal stripping of binary stars by massive black holes
Deborah Mainetti, Alessandro Lupi, Sergio Campana +1
In a galactic nucleus, a star on a low angular momentum orbit around the central massive black hole can be fully or partially disrupted by the black hole tidal field, lighting up t…
"Spoon-feeding" an AGN
Deborah Mainetti, Sergio Campana, Monica Colpi +4
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star, passing too close to a massive black hole, is ripped apart by tidal forces. A less dramatic event occurs if the star orbits just o…
Polarimetric and spectroscopic optical observations of the ultra-compact X-ray binary 4U 0614+091
M. C. Baglio, D. Mainetti, P. D'Avanzo +4
Aims: We present a polarimetric and spectroscopic study of the persistent ultra compact X-ray binary 4U 0614+091 aimed at searching for the emission of a relativistic particle jet…
