Cloud Tides Can Induce the Fast Disruption of Star Clusters and Offer an Explanation for Gaia Strings

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
Young stars form in clusters within molecular clouds, but older stars are evenly distributed across the galactic disk, necessitating an explanation for cluster dissolution.

Repeating partial disruptions and two-body relaxation

open access: yesThe Open Journal of Astrophysics
Two-body relaxation may drive stars onto near-radial orbits around a massive black hole, resulting in a tidal disruption event (TDE). In some circumstances, stars are unlikely to undergo a single terminal disruption, but rather to have a sequence of many

Micro–Tidal Disruption Events at Galactic Centers

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal
This work explores a scenario for micro–tidal disruption events (TDEs) triggered by close encounters between high-speed white dwarfs (WDs) and stellar-mass black holes (sBHs) in galactic centers.

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}\
