Tidal disruption and ignition of white dwarfs by moderately massive black holes
We present a numerical investigation of the tidal disruption of white dwarfs by moderately massive black holes, with particular reference to the centers of dwarf galaxies and globular clusters. Special attention is given to the fate of white dwarfs of all masses that approach the black hole close enough to be disrupted and severely compressed to such extent that explosive nuclear burning can be...
متن کاملTidal Capture of Stars by Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
Recent X-ray observations and theoretical modelling have made it plausible that some ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) are powered by intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs). N-body simulations have also shown that runaway merging of stars in dense star clusters is a way to form IMBHs. In the present paper we have performed N -body simulations of young clusters such as MGG-11 of M82 in which IMBH...
متن کاملTidal dissipation and evolution of white dwarfs around massive black holes: an eccentric path to tidal disruption
Awhite dwarf (WD) captured into a high-eccentricity orbit around amassive black hole (MBH) may undergo many pericentre passages before tidal disruption. During these passages, the tidal potential of the MBH excites internal oscillations or waves in the WD, and the dissipation of these oscillations can significantly influence the physical properties of the WD prior to its disruption. We calculat...
متن کاملEntropy of Intermediate-Mass Black Holes
Observational searches for Intermediate-Mass Black Holes (IMBHs), defined to have masses between 30 and 300,000 solar masses, provide limits which allow up to ten percent of what is presently identified as halo dark matter to be in the form of IMBHs. These concentrate entropy so efficiently that the halo contribution can be bigger than the core supermassive black hole. Formation of IMBHs is bri...
متن کاملTidal disruption of small satellites orbiting black holes
Low Mass X-ray Binaries (LMXBs) with either a black hole or a neutron star show power spectra characterised by Quasi Periodic Oscillations (QPOs). Twin peak high frequency QPOs are characterised by frequencies that are typical for matter orbiting within 10 rg from the compact object. We consider clumps of material orbiting a Schwarzschild black hole, that are deformed by tidal interaction. We p...
