Learn about partial tidal disruption events in a research presentation that explores the survival and evolution of stars following interactions with supermassive black holes. Discover findings from computational studies using Kepler and Phantom codes to analyze disruption events across different stellar masses and life stages. Examine how remnant stars exhibit unique characteristics including increased radius, accelerated core rotation, and differential rotation in outer layers. Understand the formation of circumstellar envelopes and how composition mixing affects stellar evolution, with particular focus on observational signatures in nitrogen and carbon abundances. Follow the comparative analysis of zero-age, middle-age, and terminal-age main sequence stars to understand their distinct evolutionary paths after partial disruption events.
