Outline of Final Research Achievements |
It is known that a three-body system can be used for an experimental test of modified gravity theories. In this research project, a formulation for the gravitational radiation reaction on a three-body system that is in the so-called Lagrange orbit is developed to examine the stability of the system. Surprisingly, some of the Lagrange orbits shrink in an adiabatic manner without chaos, though they are in a three-body system. In addition, we examine the relativistic linear stability of circular orbits around a rotating black hole (in a general form). Interestingly, some of the innermost stable circular orbits for a particular black hole model are found to be unstable against a non-radial linear perturbation. This might be important for future GW predictions.
