Black hole discs and spheres in galactic nuclei – exploring the landscape of vector resonant relaxation equilibria

Vector resonant relaxation (VRR) is known to be the fastest gravitational process that shapes the geometry of stellar orbits in nuclear star clusters. This leads to the realignment of the orbital planes on the corresponding VRR time-scale tVRR of a few million years, while the eccentricity e and sem...
