Tidal Stripping of a White Dwarf by an Intermediate-mass Black Hole
During the inspiralling of a white dwarf (WD) into an intermediate-mass black hole (∼10 ^2−5 M _⊙ ), both gravitational waves (GWs) and electromagnetic (EM) radiation are emitted. Once the eccentric orbit’s pericenter radius approaches the tidal radius, the WD would be tidally stripped upon each per...
