A Million Three-body Binaries Caught by Gaia
Dany Atallah, Yonadav Barry Ginat, Newlin C. Weatherford
Gaia observations have revealed over a million stellar binary candidates within ~1 kpc of the Sun, predominantly characterized by orbital separations >10^3 AU and eccentricities >0…

Large Gravitational Wave Phase Shifts from Strong 3-body Interactions in Dense Stellar Clusters
Kai Hendriks, Dany Atallah, Miguel Martinez +6
The phase evolution of gravitational waves (GWs) can be modulated by the astrophysical environment surrounding the source, which provides a probe for the origin of individual binar…

On Binary Formation from Three Initially Unbound Bodies
Dany Atallah, Newlin C. Weatherford, Alessandro A. Trani +1
We explore three-body binary formation (3BBF), the formation of a bound system via gravitational scattering of three initially unbound bodies (3UB), using direct numerical integrat…
