Models of three body scattering and escape
Three-body encounters in a stellar system can result in the formation of a binary system if the third star carries away sufficient kinetic energy to leave the other two bound. Subsequent encounters with such a binary are one of the main mechanisms for dynamical evolution of the system. In chapter tw...
