当高速旋转的恒星遇上黑洞会发生什么？

雪城大学的天体物理学家提出了一种解释，用以说明重复性部分潮汐瓦解事件中的异常活动。该研究探讨了超大质量黑洞与近距离掠过但未被吞噬的恒星之间的相互作用。

Astrophysicists at Syracuse University in New York think they've found a hitherto-hidden explanation for strange activity during so-called repeating partial Tidal Disruption Events (rpTDEs). These are interactions between a supermassive black hole and a star that wanders too close for comfort, but not close enough to get swallowed up.
