Repeated Tidal Interactions Between Stars and Supermassive Black Holes: Mass Transfer, Stability, and Implications for Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events

Repeated Tidal Interactions Between Stars and Supermassive Black Holes: Mass Transfer, Stability, and Implications for Repeating Partial Tidal Disruption Events

Stars orbiting supermassive black holes can generate recurring accretion flares in repeating partial tidal disruption events (TDEs). Here, we develop an efficient formalism for analyzing the time-dependent response of a star to the removal of a fraction (≲10%) of its mass. This model predicts that m...
