Two body capture in large N body systems
Abstract
The author has considered the rates of formation of binaries in the following processes: two-body tidal encounters, three-body encounters, self-hardening of soft binaries formed in three-body encounters and two-body encounters connected with gravitational wave radiation. He has considered also the cooling and the heating connected with formation of binaries and the subsequent interactions of binaries with single stars.
