In this paper we develop the new semi-analitical model of a tidally perturbed or tidally disrupted star proposed recently by two of us. This model is effectively a one dimensional Lagrangian model and it can be evolved numerically much faster that the conventional 3D models. A self-consistent derivation of the dynamical equations of the model is performed and several important theorems about the dynamics of the model are proved without any particular assumption about the equation of state of the stellar gas. The dynamical equations are solved numerically for the case of $n=1.5$ polytropic star evolving in the relativistic field of a $10^7M_{odot}$ Kerr black hole. Some results of these calculations are compared with the results of calculations based on finite-difference 3D simulations. The comparison shows a very good agreement between both approaches to the problem. Then we show that the strength of the tidal encounter depends significantly on the relative orientation of the orbital angular momentum of the star and the spin of the black hole.

A new semi-analytical model of a star evolving in a tidal field is proposed. The model is a generalization of the so-called affine stellar model. In our model the star is composed of elliptical shells with different parameters and different orientati ons, depending on time and on the radial Lagrangian coordinate of the shell. The evolution equations of this model are derived from the virial relations under certain assumptions, and the integrals of motion are identified. It is shown that the evolution equations can be deduced from a variational principle. The evolution equations are solved numerically and compared quantitatively with the results of 3D numerical computations of the tidal interaction of a star with a supermassive black hole. The comparison shows very good agreement between the main ``integral characteristics describing the tidal interaction event in our model and in the 3D computations. Our model is effectively a one-dimensional Lagrangian model from the point of view of numerical computations, and therefore it can be evolved numerically $10^{2}-10^{3}$ times faster than the 3D approach allows. This makes our model well suited for intensive calculations covering the whole parameter space of the problem.
We present late-time observations of the tidal disruption event candidate PS1-10jh. UV and optical imaging with HST/WFC3 localize the transient to be coincident with the host galaxy nucleus to an accuracy of 0.023 arcsec, corresponding to 66 pc. The UV flux in the F225W filter, measured 3.35 rest-frame years after the peak of the nuclear flare, is consistent with a decline that continues to follow a $t^{-5/3}$ power-law with no spectral evolution. Late epochs of optical spectroscopy obtained with MMT ~ 2 and 4 years after the peak, enable a clean subtraction of the host galaxy from the early spectra, revealing broad helium emission lines on top of a hot continuum, and placing stringent upper limits on the presence of hydrogen line emission. We do not measure Balmer Hdelta absorption in the host galaxy strong enough to be indicative of a rare, post-starburst E+A galaxy as reported by Arcavi et al. (2014). The light curve of PS1-10jh over a baseline of 3.5 yr is best modeled by fallback accretion of a tidally disrupted star. Its strong broad helium emission relative to hydrogen (He II lambda 4686/Halpha > 5) could be indicative of either the hydrogen-poor chemical composition of the disrupted star, or certain conditions in the tidal debris of a solar-composition star in the presence of an optically-thick, extended reprocessing envelope.
We show results from the radiation hydrodynamics (RHD) simulations of tidal disruption of a star on a parabolic orbit by a supermassive black hole (SMBH) based on a three-dimensional smoothed particle hydrodynamics code with radiative transfer. We fi nd that such a tidally disrupted star fragment and form clumps soon after its tidal disruption. The fragmentation results from the endothermic processes of ionization and dissociation that reduce the gas pressure, leading to local gravitational collapse. Radiative cooling is less effective because the stellar debris is still highly optically thick in such an early time. Our simulations reveal that a solar-type star with a stellar density profile of n=3 disrupted by a 10^6 solar mass black hole produces $sim20$ clumps of masses in the range of 0.1 to 12 Jupiter masses. The mass fallback rate decays with time, with pronounced spikes from early to late time. The spikes provide evidence for the clumps of the returning debris, while the clumps on the unbound debris can be potentially freely-floating planets and brown dwarfs. This ionization and dissociation induced fragmentation on a tidally disrupted star are a promising candidate mechanism to form low-mass stars to planets around an SMBH.

Despite its critical importance, the famous X-model elaborated by Ziel and Steinert (2016) has neither bin been widely studied nor further developed. And yet, the possibilities to improve the model are as numerous as the fields it can be applied to. The present paper takes advantage of a technique proposed by Coulon et al. (2014) to enhance the X-model. Instead of using the wholesale supply and demand curves as inputs for the model, we rely on the transforme

We perform the first magnetohydrodynamical simulations of tidal disruptions of stars by supermassive black holes. We consider stars with both tangled and ordered magnetic fields, for both grazing and deeply disruptive encounters. When the star surviv es disruption, we find its magnetic field amplifies by a factor of up to twenty, but see no evidence for the a self-sustaining dynamo that would yield arbitrary field growth. For stars that do not survive, and within the tidal debris streams produced in partial disruptions, we find that the component of the magnetic field parallel to the direction of stretching along the debris stream only decreases slightly with time, eventually resulting in a stream where the magnetic pressure is in equipartition with the gas. Our results suggest that the returning gas in most (if not all) stellar tidal disruptions is already highly magnetized by the time it returns to the black hole.
