The Peak of the Fallback Rate from Tidal Disruption Events: Dependence on Stellar Type
Ananya Bandopadhyay, Julia Fancher, Aluel Athian +7
A star completely destroyed in a tidal disruption event (TDE) ignites a luminous flare that is powered by the fallback of tidally stripped debris to a supermassive black hole (SMBH…
On the relative importance of shocks and self-gravity in modifying tidal disruption event debris streams
Julia Fancher, Eric R. Coughlin, Chris Nixon
In a tidal disruption event (TDE), a star is destroyed by the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole (SMBH) to produce a stream of debris, some of which accretes onto the…
The division between weak and strong explosions from failed supernovae
Eric R. Coughlin
Some massive stars likely fail to produce core-collapse supernovae, but these failed supernovae (FSNe) can generate an electromagnetic outburst prior to the disappearance of the st…
The dynamics of debris streams from tidal disruption events: exact solutions, critical stream density, and hydrogen recombination
Eric R. Coughlin
A star destroyed by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) in a tidal disruption event (TDE) is transformed into a filamentary structure known as a tidally disrupted stellar debris strea…
The luminosity function of TDEs from fallback-powered emission: implications for the black hole mass function
Eric R. Coughlin, Matt Nicholl
Tidal disruption events (TDEs), in which a star is destroyed by the gravitational field of a supermassive black hole (SMBH), are being observed at a high rate owing to the advanced…
Tidal capture of stars by supermassive black holes: implications for periodic nuclear transients and quasi-periodic eruptions
M. Cufari, C. J. Nixon, Eric R. Coughlin
Stars that plunge into the center of a galaxy are tidally perturbed by a supermassive black hole (SMBH), with closer encounters resulting in larger perturbations. Exciting these ti…
