Strong-field tidal distortions of rotating black holes. II. Horizon dynamics from eccentric and inclined orbits

In a previous paper, we developed tools for studying the horizon geometry of a Kerr black hole that is tidally distorted by a binary companion using techniques that require large mass ratios but can be applied to any bound orbit and allow for arbitrary black hole spin. We now apply these tools to ge...
