This book provides a general introduction to the rapidly developing
astrophysical frontier of stellar tidal disruption, but also
details original thesis research on the subject. This work
has shown that recoiling black holes can disrupt stars far outside
a galactic nucleus, errors in the traditional literature have
strongly overestimated the maximum luminosity of âdeeply
plungingâ tidal disruptions, the precession of transient
accretion disks can encode the spins of supermassive black holes,
and much more. This work is based on but differs
from the original thesis that was formally defended at
Harvard, which received both the Roger Doxsey Award and the
Chambliss Astronomy Achievement Student Award from the American
Astronomical Society.
