How to explore Tidal Disruption Event 3D Explorer
Open the explorer and watch a star fall in, spaghettify, and flare as a black hole shreds it.
- Open https://freetoolonline.com/space-3d/tidal-disruption-event.html and wait for the scene.
- Read the facts panel: the tidal-radius formula, the half-bound rule, and the t^-5/3 flare.
- Watch the star cross the blue tidal-radius ring and stretch into a debris stream.
- See the accretion disk brighten as debris falls back, then fade.
- Compare with Black Hole 3D for the black hole itself, or Roche Limit 3D for a moon torn by a planet.
Tidal disruption event key figures
| Quantity | Value |
|---|---|
| Tidal radius | r_t = R_star x (M_BH / M_star)^(1/3) |
| Bound mass that accretes | about half the star |
| Flare decline | t^-5/3 |
| Whole-swallow black-hole mass | above ~10^8 solar masses |
Next: the when guide or vs alternatives. Open the Tidal Disruption Event 3D Explorer.
Why trust these tools
- Ten-plus years of web tooling. The freetoolonline editorial team has shipped browser-based utilities since 2015. The goal has never changed: get you to a working output fast, without an install.
- No install, no sign-up. Open a tool and get a working output in seconds - nothing to download and no account to create. Tools that need heavy processing run it on our service, so even a low-powered machine gets the job done.
- Analytics stops at the page view. We measure which pages get visited, not what you type or upload inside a tool. There is nothing to sign in to and no profile is attached to your input.
- Open-source core components. The processing engines underneath (libheif, libde265, pdf-lib, terser, clean-css, ffmpeg.wasm, and others) are public and audit-able. We link to each one in its tool page's footer.
- Free, with or without ads. All tools are fully functional without sign-up. The Disable Ads button in the header is always available if you need a distraction-free run.
