Relaxation in self-gravitating systems
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Ben Bar-Or
The long timescale evolution of a self-gravitating system is generically driven by two-body encounters. In many cases, the motion of the particles is primarily governed by the mean…
Distribution functions for resonantly trapped orbits in the Galactic disc
Giacomo Monari, Benoit Famaey, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry +1
The present-day response of a Galactic disc stellar population to a non-axisymmetric perturbation of the potential has previously been computed through perturbation theory within t…
Dressed diffusion and friction coefficients in inhomogeneous multicomponent self-gravitating systems
Jean Heyvaerts, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Pierre-Henri Chavanis +1
General self-consistent expressions for the coefficients of diffusion and dynamical friction in a stable, bound, multicomponent self-gravitating and inhomogeneous system are derive…
The secular evolution of discrete quasi-Keplerian systems. II. Application to a multi-mass axisymmetric disc around a supermassive black hole
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon, Pierre-Henri Chavanis
The drift and diffusion coefficients of the inhomogeneous multi-mass degenerate Landau equation are computed to describe the self-induced resonant relaxation of a discrete self-gra…
