Influence of Black Holes on Stellar Orbits
We review the current state of dynamical modeling for galaxies in terms of being able to measure both the central black hole mass and stellar orbital structure. Both of these must be known adequately to measure either property. The current set of dynamical models do provide accurate estimates of the black hole mass and the stellar orbital distribution. Generally, these models are able to measur...
متن کاملRadiation-reaction-induced evolution of circular orbits of particles around Kerr black holes.
It is demonstrated that, in the adiabatic approximation, nonequatorial circular orbits of particles in the Kerr metric ~i.e., orbits of constant Boyer-Lindquist radius! remain circular under the influence of gravitational radiation reaction. A brief discussion is given of conditions for breakdown of adiabaticity and of whether slightly noncircular orbits are stable against the growth of eccentr...
متن کاملThe evolution of circular, non-equatorial orbits of Kerr black holes due to gravitational-wave emission
An outstanding problem in general relativity is the evolution of binary systems with strong gravity and compact bodies. Although post-Newtonian approximations very successfully describe the evolution of such binaries when the bodies are widely separated [1], no approximation schemes work well when the bodies are close: in general, there is no small parameter that can be used to develop any appr...
متن کاملExtremal black holes and nilpotent orbits
The stationary solutions of a large variety of (super)gravity theories can be described within a non-linear sigma model G/H∗ coupled to Euclidean gravity in three-dimensions, for which G is a simple group and H∗ a non-compact real form of its maximal compact subgroup. The absence of naked singularities in four dimensions requires the G Noether charge in 3D to satisfy a characteristic equation t...
متن کاملBinary Black Holes in Stationary Orbits
We show that under certain astrophysical conditions a binary system consisting of two compact objects can be stabilized against indefinite shrinking of orbits due to the emission of gravitational radiation. In this case, the lighter binary companion settles down to a stable orbit when the loss of the angular momentum due to gravitational radiation becomes equal to its gain from the accreting ma...
