A Numerical Investigation of Tidal Disruption Rate Enhancement in Post-Starburst galaxies

Abstract

Abstract Tidal disruption is an uncommon but important phenomenon that occurs when a star’s gravity is overcome by that of the SMBH which it is orbiting. In this process, researchers may gleam various properties of the host galaxy’s nucleic region, such as the accretion process, debris fallback, behavior of active galactic nuclei and quasars, etc. In this work we present a numerical analysis of TDE rates using the loss cone theory, a leading theoretical picture in this field, based on changes to several pivotal variables, such as SMBH mass, stellar mass, velocity dispersion etc. We then extend this to fit the profiles of E+A post starburst galaxies and the occasion of binary black hole systems.
