Gravitational waves emitted by inner binaries in hierarchical triple systems are interesting astrophysical candidates for space-based detectors like the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, LISA. In the presence of a third body, such as a…
We investigate the hierarchical gravitational three-body problem, in which a binary is perturbed by a distant object that orbits on a Keplerian ellipse around the binary itself. This phenomenon, known as Kozai-Lidov mechanism in the…
We study the Kozai-Lidov mechanism in a hierarchical triple system in detail by the direct integration of the first-order post Newtonian equations of motion. We analyse a variety of models with a pulsar to evaluate the cumulative shift of…
The prospect of unprecedented high-quality data of gravitational waves in the upcoming decades demands a theoretical effort to optimally study and analyze the signals that next generation detectors will provide. Here we study the…
A third object in the vicinity of a binary system causes variations in the eccentricity and the inclination of the binary through the Kozai-Lidov effect. We examine if such variations leave a detectable imprint on the gravitational waves of…
We study the secular, hierarchical three-body problem to first-order in a post-Newtonian expansion of General Relativity. We expand the first-order post-Newtonian Hamiltonian to leading-order in the ratio of the semi-major axis of the two…
The hierarchical triple body approximation has useful applications to a variety of systems from planetary and stellar scales to supermassive black holes. In this approximation, the energy of each orbit is separately conserved and therefore…
The tidal force from a third body near a binary system could introduce long-term oscillations in the binary's eccentricity, known as Kozai-Lidov oscillations. We show that the Kozai-Lidov oscillations of stellar-mass black hole binaries…
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…
We study a hierarchical triple system with the Kozai-Lidov mechanism, and analyse the cumulative shift of periastron time of a binary pulsar by the emission of gravitational waves. Time evolution of the osculating orbital elements of the…
We study the secular dynamics of compact binaries (consisting of white dwarfs, neutron stars or black holes) with tertiary companions in hierarchical triple systems. As the inner binary (with initially negligible eccentricity) undergoes…
The Kozai mechanism for a hierarchical triple system could reduce the merger time of inner eccentric binary emitting gravitational waves (GWs), and has been qualitatively explained with the secular theory that is derived by averaging…
We study the secular gravitational dynamics of quadruple systems consisting of a hierarchical triple system orbited by a fourth body. These systems can be decomposed into three binary systems with increasing semimajor axes, binaries A, B…
Three bodies moving in a periodic orbit under the influence of Newtonian gravity ought to emit gravitational waves. We have calculated the gravitational radiation quadrupolar waveforms and the corresponding luminosities for the 13+11…
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 Kozai-Lidov mechanism can be applied to a vast variety of astrophysical systems involving hierarchical three-body systems. Here, we study the Kozai-Lidov mechanism systematically in the test particle limit at the octupole level of…
We study the dynamics of a hierarchical three-body system in the general-relativistic regime: an extreme mass-ratio inner binary under the tidal influence of an external body. The inner binary consists of a central Schwarzschild black hole…
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…
The dynamical evolution of a hierarchical three body system is well characterized by the eccentric Kozai-Lidov mechanism, where the inner orbit can undergo large eccentricity and inclination oscillations. It was shown before that starting…
White dwarf-white dwarf (WD-WD) mergers may lead to type Ia supernovae events. Thompson (2011) suggested that many such binaries are produced in hierarchical triple systems. The tertiary induces eccentricity oscillations in the inner binary…
