﹩\dot{M}﹩ for 1 M ⊙ ZAMS stars disrupted by a nonrotating SMBH for β = 3 and different numbers of particles: N ≊ 5.1 × 105, 7.6 × 105, 1.0 × 106, and 1.3 × 106. The horizontal dotted line indicates the Eddington accretion rate of a 106 M ⊙ SMBH. The dotted diagonal lines represent power-law curves: t −5/3 for total stellar disruptions and t −9/4 for partial stellar disruptions.
