The Double Tidal Disruption Event AT 2022dbl Implies that at Least Some “Standard” Optical Tidal Disruption Events Are Partial Disruptions [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal LettersFlares produced following the tidal disruption of stars by supermassive black holes can reveal the properties of the otherwise dormant majority of black holes and the physics of accretion.

Revisit the Rate of Tidal Disruption Events: The Role of the Partial Tidal Disruption Event [PDF]
The Astrophysical Journal, 2022 Abstract Tidal disruption of stars in dense nuclear star clusters containing supermassive central black holes (SMBH) is modeled by high-accuracy direct N-body simulation. Stars getting too close to the SMBH are tidally disrupted, and a tidal disruption event (TDE) happens.

Extremely Relativistic Tidal Disruption Events
The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2023 Extreme tidal disruption events (eTDEs), which occur when a star passes very close to a supermassive black hole, may provide a way to observe a long-sought general relativistic effect: orbits that wind several times around a black hole and then leave ...

Brazilian Journal of Physics, 2013 The concept of stars being tidally ripped apart and consumed by a massive black hole (MBH) lurking in the center of a galaxy first captivated theorists in the late 1970s. The observational evidence for these rare but illuminating phenomena for probing otherwise dormant MBHs first emerged in archival searches of the soft X-ray ROSAT All-Sky Survey in ...

The Astrophysical Journal LettersNuclear star clusters (NSCs), made up of a dense concentration of stars and the compact objects they leave behind, are ubiquitous in the central regions of galaxies surrounding the central supermassive black hole (SMBH).

Double Tidal Disruption Events or Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events in AT 2020vdq
The Astrophysical JournalAT 2020vdq has been known as a candidate of repeating partial tidal disruption events (pTDEs) due to its two flares with a time interval of ∼1000 days.

Tidal Disruption of a Magnetized Star
The Astrophysical JournalTidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes in galactic centers (TDEs) are now being actively studied both theoretically and observationally. They are observed throughout the electromagnetic spectrum, from radio to gamma-rays.

Resonant tidal disruption in galactic nuclei [PDF]
Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, 1998 It has recently been shown that the rate of angular momentum relaxation in nearly-Keplerian star clusters is greatly increased by a process termed resonant relaxation (Rauch & Tremaine 1996), who also argued that tidal disruption of stars in galactic nuclei containing massive black holes could be noticeably enhanced by this process.

Time scales in tidal disruption events [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 We explore the temporal structure of tidal disruption events pointing out the corresponding transitions in the lightcurves of the thermal accretion disk and of the jet emerging from such events.

Relativistic tidal disruption events [PDF]
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2012 In March 2011 Swift detected an extremely luminous and long-lived outburst from the nucleus of an otherwise quiescent, low luminosity (LMC-like) galaxy. Named Swift J1644+57, its combination of high-energy luminosity (1048 ergs s−1 at peak), rapid X-ray ...
