The Peak of the Fallback Rate from Tidal Disruption Events: Dependence on Stellar Type

The Peak of the Fallback Rate from Tidal Disruption Events: Dependence on Stellar Type

A star completely destroyed in a tidal disruption event (TDE) ignites a luminous flare that is powered by the fallback of tidally stripped debris to a supermassive black hole (SMBH) of mass M _• . We analyze two estimates for the peak fallback rate in a TDE, one being the “frozen-in” model, which pr...
