The Tidal Disruption of Stars by Supermassive Black Holes An Analytic Approach

The Tidal Disruption of Stars by Supermassive Black Holes An Analytic Approach / by Nicholas Chamberlain Stone.

This book provides a general introduction to the rapidly developing astrophysical frontier of stellar tidal disruption, but also details original thesis research on the subject. This work has shown that recoiling black holes can disrupt stars far outside a galactic nucleus, errors in the traditional...
