Inclination Diffusion in Relativistic Loss Cones
Relativistic capture and tidal disruption around a spinning black hole depend on both the magnitude and direction of the star's angular momentum, yet loss-cone models often assume fixed orbital inclinations by ignoring the associated dif…
Relativistic capture and tidal disruption around a spinning black hole depend on both the magnitude and direction of the star's angular momentum, yet loss-cone models often assume fixed orbital inclinations by ignoring the associated diffusion. We show that this is not…
