Homoclinic Orbits around Spinning Black Holes II: The Phase Space Portrait
Gabe Perez-Giz, Janna Levin
In paper I in this series, we found exact expressions for the equatorial homoclinic orbits: the separatrix between bound and plunging, whirling and not whirling. As a companion to…

Homoclinic Orbits around Spinning Black Holes I: Exact Solution for the Kerr Separatrix
Janna Levin, Gabe Perez-Giz
Under the dissipative effects of gravitational radiation, black hole binaries will transition from an inspiral to a plunge. The separatrix between bound and plunging orbits feature…

A Periodic Table for Black Hole Orbits
Janna Levin, Gabe Perez-Giz
Understanding the dynamics around rotating black holes is imperative to the success of the future gravitational wave observatories. Although integrable in principle, test particle…
