The behavior of an interior test particle in the secular 3-body problem has been studied extensively. A well-known feature is the Lidov-Kozai resonance in which the test particle's argument of periapse librates about $\pm 90^\circ$ and…
We study the dynamics of the 3-D three-body problem of a small body moving under the attractions of a star and a giant planet which orbits the star on a much wider and elliptic orbit. In particular, we focus on the influence of an eccentric…
Von Zeipel-Lidov-Kozai (ZLK) oscillations in hierarchical triple systems have important astrophysical implications such as triggering strong interactions and producing, e.g., Type Ia supernovae and gravitational wave sources. When…

The Lidov-Kozai mechanism allows a body to periodically exchange its eccentricity with inclination. It was first discussed in the framework of the quadrupolar secular restricted three-body problem, where the massless particle is the inner…
Exploring weakly perturbed Keplerian motion within the restricted three-body problem, Lidov (1962) and, independently, Kozai (1962) discovered coupled oscillations of eccentricity and inclination (the KL-cycles). Their classical studies…

The secular approximation of the hierarchical three body systems has been proven to be very useful in addressing many astrophysical systems, from planets, stars to black holes. In such a system two objects are on a tight orbit, and the…
A test particle in a noncoplanar orbit about a member of a binary system can undergo Kozai-Lidov oscillations in which tilt and eccentricity are exchanged. An initially circular highly inclined particle orbit can reach high eccentricity. We…
The motion of three bodies can be solved perturbatively when a tightly bound inner binary is orbited by a distant perturber, giving rise for example to the well-known Kozai-Lidov oscillations. We propose to study the relativistic…
The restricted three-body problem describes the motion of a massless particle under the influence of two primaries of masses $1-\mu$ and $\mu$ that circle each other with period equal to $2\pi$. For small $\mu$, a resonant periodic motion…
We solve the Faddeev bound-state equations for three particles with simple two-body nonlocal, separable potentials that yield a scattering length twice as large as a positive effective range, as indicated by some lattice QCD simulations.…
We describe a new kind of resonance occuring in relativistic three-body hierarchical systems: the precession resonance, occuring when the relativistic precession timescale of a binary equals the period of a distant perturber. We find that,…
As the discoveries of more minor bodies in retrograde resonances with giant planets, such as 2015 BZ509 and 2006 RJ2, our curiosity about the Kozai-Lidov dynamics inside the retrograde resonance has been sparked. In this study, we focus on…
Effect of stellar electromagnetic radiation on motion of spherical dust particle in mean-motion orbital resonances with a planet is investigated. Planar circular restricted three-body problem with the Poynting-Robertson (P-R) effect yields…
Kozai-Lidov oscillations of Jupiter-mass planets, excited by comparable planetary or brown dwarf mass perturbers were recently shown in numerical experiments to be slowly modulated and to exhibit striking features, including extremely high…
