The event rate density in the ﹩\mathrm{log}{M}_{{\rm{BH}}}\times \mathrm{log}{L}_{{\rm{peak}}}﹩ plane for flux-limited samples: full disruptions (left) and partial disruptions (right). In both cases, the stellar mass function’s shape is the Salpeter IMF, and αBH = 0. Rates are shown on a linear scale calibrated by the color bar; these scales are the same to make it easy to gauge the ratio of partial events to full events.
