Left: evolution of the f-mode energy for a WD and two MS models with α = 0.3 and 0.8, orbiting an MBH. The initial (D_p/R_t, P₀) values are (2.9, 10 hr) for the WD system and (2.0, 45 days) for the MS systems. The red horizontal line indicates the wave-breaking threshold, while the red dots mark the onset of wave breaking, which triggers mass ejection and powers the rpTDEs. The range of recurrence times between mass-ejection episodes (within the plotted interval) is labeled for each case. The mass-loss parameters (σ₁, λ) are taken to be (10⁻³, 0) and (2 × 10⁻², 0) for the WD and MS systems, respectively. Right: evolution of D_p/R_t following each mass-ejection episode.
