Figure 22: A summary for the conditions of tidal disruption and mass shedding for in the
plane of . If the value of or is smaller than that of the threshold curves shown here,
they occur. The points with error bars (and the dotted curve) approximately denote the numerical
results for tidal disruption, based on results by the KT group for , by the CCCW, KT, and
UIUC groups for , and by the AEI group for . The solid and dashed curves denote
the critical curves for the onset of mass shedding for EOS in general relativity [209, 210],
and for the incompressible fluid in a tidal approximation (see Equation (12)), respectively.
