Secular Stellar Dynamics near a Massive Black Hole
Ann-Marie Madigan, Clovis Hopman, Yuri Levin
The angular momentum evolution of stars close to massive black holes (MBHs) is driven by secular torques. In contrast to two-body relaxation, where interactions between stars are i…

The Eccentric Disc Instability: Dependency on Background Stellar Cluster
Ann-Marie Madigan
In this paper we revisit the "eccentric disc instability", an instability which occurs in coherently eccentric discs of stars orbiting massive black holes (MBHs) embedded in stella…

Mass Segregation in the Galactic Centre
Clovis Hopman, Ann-Marie Madigan
Two-body energy exchange between stars orbiting massive black holes (MBHs) leads to the formation of a power-law density distribution n(r)~r^(-a) that diverges towards the MBH. For…
