We investigate the equilibrium and stability of supermassive stars of mass $M \agt 10^5M_{\odot}$ in binary systems. We find that corotating binaries are secularly unstable for close, circular orbits with $r \alt 4R(M/10^6M_{\odot})^{1/6}$…

Spin-orbit coupling is widespread in binary asteroid systems and it has been widely studied for the case of ellipsoidal secondary. Due to angular momentum exchange, dynamical coupling is stronger when the orbital and rotational angular…
We investigate the gravitational radiation from binary systems in conformal gravity (CG) and massive conformal gravity (MCG). CG might explain observed galaxy rotation curves without dark matter, and both models are of interest in the…
Recently, nonequilibrium orbital angular momentum in low-dimensional systems has attracted renewed attention. Here we introduce a minimal three-orbital tight-binding model for a single helical chain and show that chirality alone generates a…

We present the gravitational-wave flux balance law in an extreme mass-ratio binary with a spinning secondary. This law relates the flux of energy (angular momentum) radiated to null infinity and through the event horizon to the local change…

We obtain bounds for the minimum and maximum mass/radius ratio of a stable, charged, spherically symmetric compact object in a $D$-dimensional space-time in the framework of general relativity, and in the presence of dark energy. The total…
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…
The end state of a coalescing binary of compact objects depends strongly on the final total mass M and angular momentum J. Since gravitational radiation emission causes a slow evolution of the binary system through quasi-circular orbits…
The gravitational-radiation-induced inspiral of a binary system of compact objects is considered. A scheme is described to model the regime in which the gravitational interaction is too strong to use weak-field approximation methods, but…
We complete the analysis of the equilibrium shapes of rotating self-gravitating gases initiated in Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 031101 (2002) (cond-mat/0202140) by studying the formation and thermodynamics of asymmetric binaries and by introducing a…
The origin of equilibrium gravitational configurations is sought in terms of the stability of their trajectories, as described by the curvature of their Lagrangian configuration manifold. We focus on the case of spherical systems, which are…
The radiation reaction in compact spinning binaries on eccentric orbits due to the quadrupole-monopole interaction is studied. This contribution is of second post-Newtonian order. As result of the precession of spins the magnitude $L$ of…
A doubly synchronous binary asteroid simultaneously experiences YORP and BYORP, the former being independent of the radius of the orbit, while the latter linearly dependent on the radius. In many systems YORP and BYORP can compensate each…
The evolution of rotation states of small asteroids is governed by the YORP effect, nonetheless some asteroids can stop their YORP evolution by attaining a stable equilibrium. The same is true for binary asteroids subjected to the BYORP…
Planet formation scenarios can be constrained by the ratio of the gaseous envelope mass relative to the solid core mass in the observed exoplanet populations. One-dimensional calculations find a critical (maximal) core mass for quasi-static…
