Figure 22: A summary for the conditions of tidal disruption and mass shedding for a = 0 in the plane of (𝒞, Q). If the value of Q or 𝒞 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 Q = 2, by the CCCW, KT, and UIUC groups for Q = 3, and by the AEI group for Q = 5. The solid and dashed curves denote the critical curves for the onset of mass shedding for Γ = 2 EOS in general relativity [209, 210], and for the incompressible fluid in a tidal approximation (see Equation (12View Equation)), respectively.
