Tal Alexander (Weizmann Institute of Science)
TL;DR
This paper reviews recent progress in modeling relativistic stellar dynamics near massive black holes, emphasizing the role of secular processes and coherent relaxation in galactic nuclei.
Contribution
It introduces a new formal analytic framework incorporating secular processes and coherent relaxation for better understanding of stellar dynamics around MBHs.
Findings
Enhanced understanding of relativistic stellar dynamics
Inclusion of secular processes in models
Analytic description of coherent relaxation effects
Abstract
I briefly review advances in the understanding and modeling of relativistic stellar dynamics around massive black holes (MBHs) in galactic nuclei, following the inclusion of coherent relaxation and of secular processes in a new formal analytic description of the dynamics.
