Partial Tidal Disruptions of Main-sequence Stars by Intermediate-mass Black Holes

We study close encounters of a 1 M _⊙ middle-age main-sequence star (modeled using MESA) with massive black holes through hydrodynamic simulations, and explore in particular the dependence of the outcomes on the black hole mass. We consider here black holes in the intermediate-mass range, M _BH = 10...
