Measuring stellar and black hole masses of tidal disruption events
Taeho Ryu, Julian Krolik, Tsvi Piran
The flare produced when a star is tidally disrupted by a supermassive black hole holds potential as a diagnostic of both the black hole mass and the star mass. We propose a new met…
Tidal disruptions of main sequence stars -- IV. Relativistic effects and dependence on black hole mass
Taeho Ryu, Julian Krolik, Tsvi Piran +1
Using a suite of fully relativistic hydrodynamic simulations applied to main-sequence stars with realistic internal density profiles, we examine full and partial tidal disruptions…
Tidal disruptions of main sequence stars -- III. Stellar mass dependence of the character of partial disruptions
Taeho Ryu, Julian Krolik, Tsvi Piran +1
In this paper, the third in this series, we continue our study of tidal disruption events of main-sequence stars by a non-spinning supermassive black hole. He…
Tidal disruptions of main sequence stars -- II. Simulation methodology and stellar mass dependence of the character of full tidal disruptions
Taeho Ryu, Julian Krolik, Tsvi Piran +1
This is the second in a series of papers presenting the results of fully general relativistic simulations of stellar tidal disruptions in which the stars' initial states are realis…
Tidal Disruptions of Main Sequence Stars -- I. Observable Quantities and their Dependence on Stellar and Black Hole Mass
Taeho Ryu, Julian Krolik, Tsvi Piran +1
This paper introduces a series of papers presenting a quantitative theory for the tidal disruption of main sequence stars by supermassive black holes. Using fully general relativis…
Tidal Disruptions of Main Sequence Stars -- V. The Varieties of Disruptions
Julian Krolik, Tsvi Piran, Taeho Ryu
Tidal disruption events (TDEs), events in which a star passes very close to a supermassive black hole, are generally imagined as leading either to the star's complete disruption or…
