Resonant relaxation in stellar systems
Kevin P. Rauch,Scott Tremaine +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the existence of an enhanced rate of angular momentum relaxation in nearly Keplerian star clusters, such as those found in the centers of galactic nuclei containing massive black holes.

Journal ArticleDOI
Light Curves of Rapidly Rotating Neutron Stars
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of rapid rotation on the light curves of neutron stars with hot polar caps was considered, and it was shown that for P ≈ 3 ms spin periods, the pulse fractions can be as much as an order of magnitude larger than with simple, slowly rotating estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microlensing and the structure of active galactic nucleus accretion disks
Kevin P. Rauch,Roger Blandford +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, microlensing variation in two of the four gravitationally lensed images of Q2237 + 0305 was attributed to the intervening stars and associated constraints on the source size and properties are studied and compared with a variety of stationary accretion disk models.
