A statistical theory of the disruption of three-body systems - II. High angular momentum.
Abstract
The statistical theory of the disruption of three-body self-gravitating systems is refined by allowing for both energy and angular momentum conservation in the phase-space description. The resulting distribution of the parameters of the remnant binary and the velocity distribution of the escaping particle are in good agreement with numerical experiments.
