Eccentric Binaries Based on Koenigdorffer and Gopakumar Stellar-mass compact binaries in eccentric orbits are excellent sources for LISA. LISA will “hear” GW from intermediate-mass black holes moving in highly eccentric orbits K. Gültekin, M. C. Miller, and D. P. Hamilton (2005), T. Matsubayashi, J. Makino, and T. Ebisuzaki (2005), M. A. Gürkan, J. M. Fregeau, and F. A. Rasio (2005) Several papers indicate that SMBHB formed from galactic mergers, may coalesce with orbital eccentricity S. J. Aarseth (2003), P. Berczik, D.

Kozai Mechanism One proposed astrophysical scenario, involves hierarchical triplets modeled to consist of an inner and an outer binary. If the mutual inclination angle between the orbital planes of the inner and of the outer binary is large enough, then the time averaged tidal force on the inner binary may induce oscillations in its eccentricity, known in the literature as the Kozai mechanism Kozai (1962),M.

Kozai Mechanism<br />

One proposed astrophysical scenario, <strong>in</strong>volves hierarchical<br />

triplets modeled to consist of an <strong>in</strong>ner and an outer b<strong>in</strong>ary. If<br />

the mutual <strong>in</strong>cl<strong>in</strong>ation angle between the orbital planes of<br />

the <strong>in</strong>ner and of the outer b<strong>in</strong>ary is large enough, then the<br />

time averaged tidal force on the <strong>in</strong>ner b<strong>in</strong>ary may <strong>in</strong>duce<br />

oscillations <strong>in</strong> its eccentricity, known <strong>in</strong> the literature as the<br />

Kozai mechanism<br />
