Exo-Milankovitch Cycles I: Orbits and Rotation States

Russell Deitrick, Rory Barnes, Thomas R. Quinn +3

The obliquity of the Earth, which controls our seasons, varies by only ~2.5 degrees over ~40,000 years, and its eccentricity varies by only ~0.05 over 100,000 years. Nonetheless, t…

On the motion of hairy black holes in Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton theories

Félix-Louis Julié

Starting from the static, spherically symmetric black hole solutions in massless Einstein-Maxwell-dilaton (EMD) theories, we build a "skeleton" action, that is, we phenomenological…
