Eccentricity and Inclination Excitation of Stellar Orbits around merging Black-Hole Binaries
Hao Gao, Hanlun Lei
Identifying the formation channels of merging compact-object binaries remains a fundamental challenge in gravitational-wave (GW) astrophysics. Here, we formulate a generalized fram…

Eccentric von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai effects under mildly hierarchical triple systems: Influence of Brown corrections upon orbit flipping
Hao Gao, Hanlun Lei
Mildly hierarchical three-body systems are widespread in the Universe, exemplified by planets in stellar binaries and stars in black-hole binaries. In such systems, Brown Hamiltoni…
