Please forgive the awkward title. "Supermassive black hole" uses up a lot of the title character limit.
Has anyone made a simulation of what would happen if a neutron star impacted a simplified (Schwarzschild) supermassive black hole? I've seen simulations of a neutron star colliding with a stellar mass black hole, and of two stellar mass black holes colliding, but my Google searches haven't found me this yet.
Specifically, would the event horizon temporarily change shape near the impact?
I'm asking this here because someone I know asked a related question out of curiosity. Out of politeness, I'd like to be able to get an answer to my question here back to them within a month or two.
