The 15 pages that link to Tidal disruption, each with the reason it gives.

• Gravitational collapseCompared with: Tidal forces can disrupt matter instead of allowing it to collapse as a coherent body.

• Open clusterRelated: The Milky Way’s tides help strip stars from open clusters.

• PlanetesimalCompared with: Strong tidal forces can prevent dense particle clumps from becoming planetesimals.

• Neutron star mergerRelated: Strong tidal forces can tear matter from a neutron star near coalescence.

• Planetary ringsRelated: Disrupted moons or passing bodies may supply ring material.

• Rings of SaturnRelated: A disrupted moon or comet is one proposed source of ring material.

• Disk instabilityRelated: A newly formed clump may be torn apart before contraction makes it resistant to disk tides.

• PhotoevaporationCompared with: It removes material through gravity, not radiation-induced heating.

• Galactic tideRelated: It is the extreme outcome when a galactic tidal field overwhelms a system’s internal binding.

• Tidal dwarf galaxyRelated: Host-galaxy tides may disperse a tidal dwarf before it becomes a long-lived satellite.

• Comet Shoemaker–Levy 9Narrower topic: Jupiter’s tidal forces transformed the comet into multiple impactors.

• Interacting galaxyCompared with: A companion galaxy may be disrupted by tides, rather than merely distorted while remaining intact.

• Kreutz sungrazerRelated: Solar tides can fracture a sungrazer as it approaches perihelion.

• Sungrazing cometRelated: The Sun’s tidal forces can tear apart a weak comet nucleus.

• Messier 7Related: Galactic tides help gradually disperse open clusters such as Messier 7.
