Tidal Disruption Events from the Combined Effects of Two-body Relaxation and the Eccentric Kozai–Lidov Mechanism
Tidal disruption events (TDEs) take place when a star ventures too close to a supermassive black hole (SMBH) and becomes ruptured. One of the leading proposed physical mechanisms often invoked in the literature involves weak two-body interactions experienced by the population of stars within the hos...
