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…
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…
Stellar Revival and Repeated Flares in Deeply Plunging Tidal Disruption Events
Chris Nixon, Eric R. Coughlin
Tidal disruption events with tidal radius and pericenter distance are characterized by the quantity , and "deep encounters" have $β\…
