First Law of Mechanics for Black Hole Binaries with Spins
Luc Blanchet, Alessandra Buonanno, Alexandre Le Tiec
We use the canonical Hamiltonian formalism to generalize to spinning point particles the first law of mechanics established for binary systems of non-spinning point masses moving o…
Thermodynamics of a Black Hole with Moon
Samuel E. Gralla, Alexandre Le Tiec
For a Kerr black hole perturbed by a particle on the "corotating" circular orbit (angular velocity equal to that of the unperturbed event horizon), the black hole remains in equili…
Non-Gaussianity in the Cosmic Microwave Background Induced by Dipolar Dark Matter
Luc Blanchet, David Langlois, Alexandre Le Tiec +1
In previous work [L. Blanchet and A. Le Tiec, Phys. Rev. D 80, 023524 (2009)], motivated by the phenomenology of dark matter at galactic scales, a model of dipolar dark matter (DDM…
Spacetime Symmetries and Kepler's Third Law
Alexandre Le Tiec
The curved spacetime geometry of a system of two point masses moving on a circular orbit has a helical symmetry. We show how Kepler's third law for circular motion, and its general…
