Four Which I Knew Not: The Hexadecapole Nearly Cancels the Octupole in Librating Kozai-Lidov Cycles
Ygal Y. Klein
Phenomena requiring close proximity between two bodies, from black-hole mergers to hot Jupiters, may originate in hierarchical triples, in which secular torques from a distant comp…

Hierarchical Three-Body Problem at High Eccentricities = Simple Pendulum, IV: Octupole for Librating Kozai-Lidov Cycles
Ygal Y. Klein
We solve analytically the long-term octupole evolution of \textit{librating} Kozai-Lidov cycles - those with a negative Kozai constant, in which the argument of pericenter librates…

Short-Range Forces Can Catalyze Extreme Orbital Evolution in Hierarchical Triples
Ygal Y. Klein, Chris Hamilton
Hierarchical triples are promising environments for producing exotica such as black hole mergers and hot Jupiters, because of the von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) effect, whereby a dis…
