Supermassive Black Holes Stripping a Subgiant Star Down to Its Helium Core: A New Type of Multimessenger Source for LISA

Some stars orbiting supermassive black holes (SMBHs) are expected to undergo a gravitational wave (GW)–driven inspiral and initiate mass transfer on nearly circular orbits. However, the stability and duration of such phases remain unexplored. In this work, we focus on the evolution of a low-mass, ra...
