Example light curves from stellar collision debris accreting onto a BH. Along the horizontal axis, we vary the distance of the collision from the black hole, normalized by the Schwarzschild radius, rinit/rS. Along the vertical axis, we vary the mass of the supermassive black hole, M•. The y–axis of every plot is normalized by the Eddington luminosity for the black hole, LEdd. For all light curves shown here, the orientation is that shown by the yellow relative velocity vector in Fig. 2.
