Figure 2

Gas density maps, projected on the orbital (x-y) plane, during a tidal disruption event in a circular SMBH binary with , a = 100rS, and q = 0.1. The run time t is in units of Porb as labeled in the top-right corner of each panel. The number of SPH particles is indicated at the bottom-right corner. The panels are shown in chronological order. The coloration indicates the density in five orders of magnitude on a logarithmic scale normalized by Σ0 = 6.5 × 106 g cm−2. The dashed circles indicate the tidal disruption radii for the primary and secondary SMBHs.
