Snapshots of TDEs of 0.6 M WDs, due to 500 M IMBHs (white points) for eight different values of impact parameter b at ∼500 s. The top two (bottom two) panels show slices of densities and temperatures for b = 0.20, 0.19, 0.18, 0.17 (b = 0.16, 0.15, 0.12, 0.10), respectively. As b decreases, the ejecta are more spread out and increasingly unlike a standard TDE, indicating runaway nuclear burning (e.g., the case of b = 0.10). The masses of the unbound ejecta are shown in Table 1.

Current usage metrics show cumulative count of Article Views (full-text article views including HTML views, PDF and ePub downloads, according to the available data) and Abstracts Views on Vision4Press platform.

Data correspond to usage on the plateform after 2015. The current usage metrics is available 48-96 hours after online publication and is updated daily on week days.
