Merging binaries in the Galactic Center: The eccentric Kozai–Lidov mechanism with stellar evolution
Most, if not all, stars in the field are born in binary configurations or higher multiplicity systems. In dense stellar environment such as the Galactic Center (GC), many stars are expected to be in binary configurations as well. These binaries form hierarchical triple-body systems, with the massive...
