Tidal disruption of stellar objects by hard supermassive black hole binaries

Supermassive black hole binaries (SMBHBs) are expected by the hierarchical galaxy formation model in ACDM cosmology. There is some evidence in the literature for SMBHBs in active galactic nuclei, but there are few observational constraints on the evolution of SMBHBs in inactive galaxies and gas-poor...
