Orbital alignment and mass segregation in galactic nuclei via vector resonant relaxation
Nathan Magnan, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon +1
Supermassive black holes dominate the gravitational potential in galactic nuclei. In these dense environments, stars follow nearly Keplerian orbits and see their orbital planes rel…
Linear response theory and damped modes of stellar clusters
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Simon Prunet
Because all stars contribute to its gravitational potential, stellar clusters amplify perturbations collectively. In the limit of small fluctuations, this is described through line…
Resonant and non-resonant relaxation of globular clusters
Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Chris Hamilton, Simon Rozier +1
Globular clusters contain a finite number of stars. As a result, they inevitably undergo secular evolution (`relaxation') causing their mean distribution function (DF) to evolve on…
Mapping the Galactic centre's dark cluster via Resonant Relaxation
Kerwann Tep, Jean-Baptiste Fouvry, Christophe Pichon +4
Supermassive black holes in the centre of galaxies dominate the gravitational potential of their surrounding stellar clusters. In these dense environments, stars follow nearly Kepl…
