Secular Dynamics around a Supermassive Black Hole via Multipole Expansion
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Walter Dehnen, Scott Tremaine +1
In galactic nuclei, the gravitational potential is dominated by the central supermassive black hole, so stars follow quasi-Keplerian orbits. These orbits are distorted by gravitati…
Relaxation in a Fuzzy Dark Matter Halo. II. Self-consistent kinetic equations
Ben Bar-Or, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Scott Tremaine
Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) is composed of ultra-light bosons having a de Broglie wavelength that is comparable to the size of the stellar component of galaxies at typical galactic vel…
Young stellar cluster dilution near supermassive black holes: the impact of Vector Resonant Relaxation on neighbour separation
Juan Giral Martínez, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon
We investigate the rate of orbital orientation dilution of young stellar clusters in the vicinity of supermassive black holes. Within the framework of vector resonant relaxation, w…
Kinetic theory of one-dimensional homogeneous long-range interacting systems with an arbitrary potential of interaction
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Pierre-Henri Chavanis, Christophe Pichon
Finite- effects unavoidably drive the long-term evolution of long-range interacting -body systems. The Balescu-Lenard kinetic equation generically describes this process sour…
The Strength of the Dynamical Spiral Perturbation in the Galactic Disk
Anna-Christina Eilers, David W. Hogg, Hans-Walter Rix +4
The mean Galactocentric radial velocities of luminous red giant stars within the mid-plane of the Milky Way reveal a spiral signature, which could plaus…
