The secular evolution of discrete quasi-Keplerian systems. I. Kinetic theory of stellar clusters near black holes
We derive the kinetic equation that describes the secular evolution of a large set of particles orbiting a dominant massive object, such as stars bound to a supermassive black hole or a proto-planetary debris disc encircling a star. Because the particles move in a quasi-Keplerian potential, their or...
