Figure 2.10: Comparison of S-class (gray fill), B-class (wide cross-hatch) and M-class(small cross hatch) tidal disruptions in terms of relative number of binaries formed foreach class. (a) The three classes are plotted as a function of close approach q and (b) v ∞ .The binaries produced within each class are also plotted as a function of (c) eccentricityand (d) size ratio of the secondary to the primary.48
