Vector Resonant Relaxation and Statistical Closure Theory. I. Direct Interaction Approximation
Sofia Flores, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry
Stars orbiting a supermassive black hole in the center of galaxies undergo very efficient diffusion in their orbital orientations: this is "Vector Resonant Relaxation". Such a dyna…
Kinetic Theory of Stellar Systems: A Tutorial
Chris Hamilton, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry
Stellar systems - star clusters, galaxies, dark matter haloes, and so on - are ubiquitous characters in the evolutionary tale of our Universe. This tutorial article is an introduct…
Non-resonant relaxation of rotating globular clusters
Kerwann Tep, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon
The long-term relaxation of rotating, spherically symmetric globular clusters is investigated through an extension of the orbit averaged Chandrasekhar non-resonant formalism. A com…
