Secular Eccentricity Oscillations in Axisymmetric Disks of Eccentric Orbits
Jacob Fleisig, Alexander Zderic, Ann-Marie Madigan
Massive bodies undergo orbital eccentricity oscillations when embedded in an axisymmetric disk of smaller mass orbits. These eccentricity oscillations are driven by secular torques…
Mass Segregation in Eccentric Nuclear Disks: Enhanced Tidal Disruption Event Rates for High Mass Stars
Hayden R. Foote, Aleksey Generozov, Ann-Marie Madigan
Eccentric nuclear disks (ENDs) are a type of star cluster in which the stars lie on eccentric, apsidally-aligned orbits in a disk around a central supermassive black hole (SMBH). T…
The Effect of General Relativistic Precession on Tidal Disruption Events from Eccentric Nuclear Disks
Heather N. Wernke, Ann-Marie Madigan
An eccentric nuclear disk consists of stars moving on apsidally-aligned orbits around a central black hole. The secular gravitational torques that dynamically stabilize these disks…
