Impulsive encounters between astrophysical objects are usually treated using the distant tide approximation (DTA) for which the impact parameter, $b$, is assumed to be significantly larger than the characteristic radii of the subject, $r_{mathrm{S}}$, and the perturber, $r_{mathrm{P}}$. The perturber potential is then expanded as a multipole series and truncated at the quadrupole term. When the perturber is more extended than the subject, this standard approach can be extended to the case where $r_{mathrm{S}} ll b < r_{mathrm{P}}$. However, for encounters with $b$ of order $r_{mathrm{S}}$ or smaller, the DTA typically overpredicts the impulse, $Delta mathbf{v}$, and hence the internal energy change of the subject, $Delta E_{mathrm{int}}$. This is unfortunate, as these close encounters are the most interesting, potentially leading to tidal capture, mass stripping, or tidal disruption. Another drawback of the DTA is that $Delta E_{mathrm{int}}$ is proportional to the moment of inertia, which diverges unless the subject is truncated or has a density profile that falls off faster than $r^{-5}$. To overcome these shortcomings, this paper presents a fully general, non-perturbative treatment of impulsive encounters which is valid for any impact parameter, and not hampered by divergence issues, thereby negating the necessity to truncate the subject. We present analytical expressions for $Delta mathbf{v}$ for a variety of perturber profiles, apply our formalism to both straight-path encounters and eccentric orbits, and discuss the mass loss due to tidal shocks in gravitational encounters between equal mass galaxies.
The solar corona consists of a million-degree Kelvin plasma. A complete understanding of this phenomenon demands the study of Quiet Sun (QS) regions. In this work, we study QS regions in the 171 {AA}, 193 {AA} and 211 {AA} passbands of the Atmospheri
Using a full spectral scan of an active region from the Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) we have obtained Emission Measure EM$(T)$ distributions in two different moss regions within the same active region. We have compared these with th
It is well established that elemental abundances vary in the solar atmosphere and that this variation is organized by first ionization potential (FIP). Previous studies have shown that in the solar corona low-FIP elements, such as Fe, Si, Mg, and Ca,
In collisional ionization equilibrium (CIE), the X-ray spectrum from a plasma depends on the distribution of emission measure over temperature (DEM). Due to the well-known ill conditioning problem, no precisely resolved DEM can be inverted directly f
We develop a first-principles approach for the treatment of vibronic interactions in solids that overcomes the main limitations of state-of-the-art electron-phonon coupling formalisms. In particular, anharmonic effects in the nuclear dynamics are acc
