abstract
White dwarf stars that enter the tidal radius of black holes with masses $\lesssim$ $10^5$ M$_{\odot}$ are doomed to be ripped apart by tidal forces. Black holes in this mass range between stellar black holes and supermassive black holes have not been conclusively identified so the detection of a tidal disruption of a white dwarf would provide clear evidence for the existence of intermediate-mass black holes. In this review, we present a theoretical and observational overview of the transient events that result from the tidal disruptions of white dwarfs by intermediate-mass black holes. This includes discussion of the latest simulations and predicted properties, the results of observational searches, as well as a summary of the potential for gravitational wave emission to be detected with upcoming missions.

Gravitational Wave Modeling of White-Dwarf--Compact-Object Binaries and Observational Outlook
WD–CO binaries produce unique GW waveforms with a sharp f_max cutoff; LGWA/DECIGO will detect many end stages, while terrestrial detectors will not mistake them for sub-solar compact objects.

Resonances of compressible stars in precessing orbits around a spinning black hole
The resonance found for incompressible stars persists for compressible polytropic stars with stiff equations of state, but its radius shrinks as the polytropic index grows, and the second-order resonance disappears for n=2.
