In a tidal disruption event (TDE), a star is disrupted by the tidal field of a massive black hole, creating a debris stream that returns to the black hole, forms an accretion flow, and powers a luminous flare. Over the last few decades,…

In this paper, we rigorously prove the existence of self-similar converging shock wave solutions for the non-isentropic Euler equations for $\gamma\in (1,3]$. These solutions are analytic away from the shock interface before collapse, and…

We investigate the relativistic breakout of a shock wave from the surface of a star. In this process, each fluid shell is endowed with some kinetic and thermal energy by the shock, and then continues to accelerate adiabatically by…
