Time series of the tidal disruption of an approximately Earth-like planet as it flies too close to its 0.1 M_⊙ host star. Times are annotated relative to the time of periapse passage, t_peri. In the closest approach, the planet passes at ~1.45r_t, close enough to disrupt the outer layers, while the inner core survives the encounter. The iron core is excised in our calculation, and the infall of self-bound material back to the surviving core is visible in the last panel. While the upper series of panels plots the volume-averaged density of planetary debris (in which rocks could maintain a high internal density), the lower shows material's initial radius, r_i, within the planet relative to the planetary radius, R_planet. Here, for example, the outermost layers from the planet's crust (shown in red) form the outermost debris in the tidal tails.
