An order-disorder phase transition in black-hole star clusters
Jihad Touma, Scott Tremaine, Mher Kazandjian
The centers of most galaxies contain massive black holes surrounded by dense star clusters. The structure of these clusters determines the rate and properties of observable transie…
Satellite dynamics on the Laplace surface
Scott Tremaine, Jihad Touma, Fathi Namouni
The orbital dynamics of most planetary satellites is governed by the quadrupole moment from the equatorial bulge of the host planet and the tidal field from the Sun. On the Laplace…
Caustics in Dark Matter Haloes
Roya Mohayaee, Stephane Colombi, Bernard Fort +3
Caustics are formally singular structures, with infinite density, that form in collisionless media. The non-negligible velocity dispersion of dark matter particles renders their de…
