The Combined Effects of Two-Body Relaxation Processes and the Eccentric Kozai-Lidov Mechanism on the EMRI Rate

Smadar Naoz, Sanaea C. Rose, Erez Michaely +4

Gravitational wave (GW) emissions from extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are promising sources for low-frequency GW-detectors. They result from a compact object, such as a stell…

Binary black holes mergers from hierarchical triples in open clusters

Dylan Britt, Ben Johanson, Logan Wood +2

A promising channel for producing binary black hole mergers is the Lidov-Kozai orbital resonance in hierarchical triple systems. While this mechanism has been studied in isolation,…

White dwarf - main sequence star collisions from wide triples in the field

Erez Michaely, Michael Shara

Multiple star systems interact strongly with Galactic field stars when the outer semi-major axis of a triple or multiple star is > 10 3 AU. Stable triples composed of two white-dwa…

Type Ia Supernovae from wide white-dwarfs triples

Erez Michaely

For ultra-wide systems (with outer orbit > the galactic field is collisional. Hence, ultra-wide triple white-dwarfs (TWDs) can be perturbed, by flyby stars, to suf…

High rate of gravitational waves mergers from flyby perturbations of wide black-hole triples in the field

Erez Michaely, Hagai G. Perets

Ultra-wide triple black-holes (TBHs; with an outer orbit AU) in the field can be considerably perturbed by flyby encounters with field stars by the excitation of the outer…

Inferred timescales for common envelope ejection using wide astrometric companions

Andrei P. Igoshev, Hagai B. Perets, Erez Michaely

Evolution of close binaries often proceeds through the common envelope stage. The physics of the envelope ejection (CEE) is not yet understood, and several mechanisms were suggeste…
