重复的潮汐破坏事件在几个月到几年的时间尺度上重复出现,代表了部分破坏的无歧义特征,残留的恒星残骸返回到近心点,被潮汐力反复剥离。这些系统因此提供了研究部分破坏和完全破坏差异的最佳实验室。这两个系统之间值得注意的观测差异是,所有已知的X射线明亮的重复TDEs都显示出在比完全(非重复)TDEs更短的时间尺度上快速转换于热、非热和完全暗的状态。我们主张这可以简单地理解为由于供应给盘的燃料减少,这些系统提供了证据表明所有潮汐破坏事件在爱丁顿比$ f_{\ m edd} = L_{\ m bol}/L_{\ m edd} \sim 0.01} $处经历状态转换,类似于X射线双星。{作为这部分计算的一部分,我们推导出一个通用表达式,用于计算TDE盘落至给定爱丁顿分数所需的时间,这对完全和部分TDE科学都有用。} 也许令人惊讶的是,这些系统观测到的晚期光学/紫外平台辐射亮度在很大程度上不受这种燃料减少的影响,只要外盘在足够长的时间内保持热态,以便这种辐射能被检测到。然后我们显示,返回的恒星残骸与由最后一次经过形成的盘碰撞将产生可能可观测的X射线耀斑($ L_{\ m flare} \simeq 10^{42} $ erg/s),但这些耀斑可能很难检测,因为它们通常寿命很短($ t_{\ m flare} \simeq 0.1-1 $ 小时)。
英文摘要:
Tidal disruption events which repeat on timescales of months-to-years represent an unambiguous signature of a partial disruption, with the surviving stellar remnant returning to pericentre to be repeatedly stripped by tidal forces. These systems therefore offer the best laboratories to study the differences between partial and full disruptions. One noteworthy observational difference between the two systems is that all known X-ray bright repeating TDEs show rapid transitions between thermal, non-thermal and completely dim states on timescales much shorter than full (non-repeating) TDEs. We argue this can be simply understood as being due to the reduction in fuel supply available to the disk, and that these systems provide evidence that all tidal disruption events undergo a state transition at Eddington ratios $f_{\rm edd} = L_{\rm bol}/L_{\rm edd} \sim 0.01$, similar to X-ray binaries. {As part of this calculation we derive a general expression for the time taken for a TDE disk to fall to a given Eddington fraction, which will be of use to both full and partial TDE science.} Perhaps surprisingly, the late-time optical/UV plateau luminosity observed from these systems is largely unaffected by this reduction in fuel supply, provided the outer disk remains in a thermal state for long enough for this emission to be detected. We then show that collisions between the returning stellar remnant and the disk formed from the last passage will produce potentially observable X-ray flares ($L_{\rm flare} \simeq 10^{42}$ erg/s), but that they are likely to be very difficult to detect as they are generally short-lived ($t_{\rm flare} \simeq 0.1-1$ hr).
