The First Systematically Identified Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Event
Astrophysical Journal, 2023Tidal disruption events (TDEs) occur when a star enters the tidal radius of a supermassive black hole. If the star only grazes the tidal radius, a fraction of the stellar mass will be accreted in a partial TDE (pTDE).

The unluckiest star orbits a supermassive black hole elliptically. Every time it reaches the pericenter, it shallowly enters the tidal radius and gets partially tidally disrupted, producing a series of flares.

Tidal disruption of dissipative planetesimals
Icarus, 1985A self-consistent numerical model is developed for the tidal disruption of a solid planetesimal. The planetesimal is treated as a highly viscous, slightly compressible fluid whose disturbed parts are an inviscid, pressureless fluid undergoing distortion and disruption. The distortions were constrained to being symmetrical above and below the equatorial

Tidal disruption of viscous bodies
Icarus, 1992Tidal disruptions are investigated in viscous-fluid planetesimals whose radius is small relative to the distance of closest (parabolic-orbit) approach to a planet. The planetesimal surface is in these conditions always ellipsoidal, facilitating treatment by coupled ODEs which are solvable with high accuracy.

Tidal disruption of a disk galaxy
Astrophysics and Space Science, 1981The tidal force effects of a spherical galaxy passing head-on through a disk galaxy have been studied for various orientations of the disk galaxy with respect to the direction of relative motion of the two galaxies. The density distribution of the spherical galaxy is taken to be that of a polytrope of indexn=4 and that of the disk galaxy is taken to be,

Tidal disruption of inviscid planetesimals
Icarus, 1991In view of previous efforts' demonstration that strongly dissipative planetesimals are immune to tidal disruption, an examination is presently conducted of the complementary case of inviscid planetesimals arising from collisions that are sufficiently energetic to entirely melt the resulting planetesimal and debris.

Dynamics of a tidally disrupted star
Astronomical & Astrophysical Transactions, 2001Abstract A new semi-analytical model of a star evolving in a tidal field is proposed. The model is a generalization of the so-called ‘affine’ stellar model. In our model the star is composed of elliptical shells with different parameters and different orientations, depending on time and on the radial Lagrangian coordinate of the shell.

Tidal disruption of solid bodies
Icarus, 1990The problem of stress, strain, and breakup in solid satellites and stray bodies subject to tidal perturbations is presently addressed in view of three novel considerations. After presenting a new analytic solution for the stress tensor in a homogeneous and compressible elastic sphere, where the inclusion of compressibility alters stresses by several ...
