Tidal stripping of stars near supermassive black holes
L. Dai,Roger Blandford +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a binary system composed of a supermassive black hole and a star orbiting the hole in an equatorial, circular orbit is considered, where the stellar orbit will shrink due to the action of gravitational radiation, until the star fills its Roche lobe outside the Innermost Stable Circular Orbit of the hole or plunges into the hole.
