Modeling Tidal Disruptions with Dynamical Tides

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when stars pass close enough to supermassive black holes to be torn apart by tidal forces. Traditionally, these events are studied with computationally intensive hydrodynamical simulations. In this paper, we present a

The Influence of Central Body Tides on Catastrophic Disruptions of Close-in Planetary Satellites

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We model the outcomes of catastrophic disruptions on small, gravity-dominated natural satellites, accounting for the tidal potential of the central body, which is neglected in classical disruption scaling laws. We introduce the concept of ${Q}_{\,\rm{TD}\

Tidal Disruption of a Star on a Nearly Circular Orbit

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
We consider Roche lobe overflow (RLO) from a low-mass star on a nearly circular orbit, onto a supermassive black hole (SMBH). If mass transfer is unstable, its rate accelerates in a runaway process, resulting in highly super-Eddington mass accretion ...
