Abstract : The motion of three bodies can be solved perturbatively when a tightly bound inner binary is orbited by a distant perturber on an elliptic orbit. The exchange of angular momentum between the two orbits gives rise to Kozai-Lidov oscillations of eccentricity and inclination characterizing many different systems in astronomy. In this talk, I […]

Warm dark matter (WDM) could explain some small-scale structure observations that have challenged the cold dark matter (CDM) model, as warm particles suppress structure formation due to free streaming effects. Observing small-scale structure thus provides a valuable way to distinguish between CDM and WDM. In this talk, I will present a semi-analytical model for the […]

A particle physics approach to describing black hole interactions is opening new avenues for understanding gravitational-wave observations. In this talk, we will review this paradigm change showing how general relativity […]
Primordial black holes (PBHs), possibly formed via gravitational collapse of large density perturbations in the very early universe, are one of the earliest proposed and viable dark matter (DM) candidates. […]

L'organisation du Système Solaire et la description des mouvements qui le caractérisent ont constitué le cœur de l'astronomie pendant de siècles depuis l'antiquité. Cette science appelée Mécanique Céleste qui repose sur la théorie de la gravitation a connu son heure de gloire au XIXe siècle, avant de passer au second plan devant l'essor de l'astrophysique. […]
