Spin and Eccentricity Evolution in Triple Systems: from the Lidov-Kozai Interaction to the Final Merger of the Inner Binary
Hang Yu, Sizheng Ma, Matthew Giesler +1
We study the spin and eccentricity evolution of black-hole (BH) binaries that are perturbed by tertiary masses and experience the Lidov-Kozai (LK) excitation. We focus on three asp…
