Lidov-Kozai Cycles with Gravitational Radiation: Merging Black Holes in Isolated Triple Systems
Kedron Silsbee, Scott Tremaine
We show that a black-hole binary with an external companion can undergo Lidov-Kozai cycles that cause a close pericenter passage, leading to a rapid merger due to gravitational-wav…

Modeling the Nearly Isotropic Comet Population in Anticipation of LSST Observations
Kedron Silsbee, Scott Tremaine
We run simulations to determine the expected distribution of orbital elements of nearly isotropic comets (NICs) in the outer solar system, assuming that these comets originate in t…

Planet formation in stellar binaries II: overcoming the fragmentation barrier in alpha Centauri and gamma Cephei-like systems
Roman R. Rafikov, Kedron Silsbee
Planet formation in small-separation (~20 AU) eccentric binaries such as gamma Cephei or alpha Centauri is believed to be adversely affected by the presence of the stellar companio…
