Schematic illustration (not to scale) of the partial disruption of a planet around a NS. The dashed ellipse represents the orbit of the planet. The gray areas represent possible ranges of the clumps’ orbit in the inner and outer bound stream. The dotted ellipses at the fringe of these gray areas represent the orbits of the clumps generated near θ = θ_c. The solid ellipse in the inner stream represents the clumps produced near θ = 0, while the solid ellipse in the outer stream represents the clumps produced at somewhere between θ = 0 and θ = θ_c, depending on the structure of the planet. The curved arrow represents unbound clumps.
