Scientific paper

The analysis of stars in galactic nuclei that are captured and tidally disrupted by a black hole of mass <106Msolar requires the inclusion of general relativistic effects. We present the first numerical study of tidal breakup of a 1Msolar main sequence star by a 107Msolar black hole. We use a smoothed particle code to solve the hydrodynamic equations for a relativistic fluid in a static curved spacetime geometry to analyze, among other things, the fraction of the debris captured by the hole and the velocity of fragments escaping the hole.
