Customer Reviews

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.Â 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 â€œdeeply plungingâ€ tidal disruptions, the precession of transient accretion disks can encode the spins of supermassive black holes, and much more. This workÂ is based on but differs fromÂ 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.
