Once a Giant, (Almost) Always a Giant: Partial Tidal Disruption Events of Giant Stars

Tidal disruption events (TDEs) of giant stars by supermassive black holes (SMBH) differ significantly from those of main-sequence ones. Most (all for SMBH of more than a few ×10 ^5 m _⊙ ) giant TDEs are partial: only a fraction of the envelope is torn apart. The dense stellar core and the rest of th...
