- Inspirals that circularize
Other than compact binaries, are there conditions where 2-body inspirals circularize? 3-body?

In general 3-body problem, the least massive body is typically ejected, leaving binary with less energy. The eccentricity of remaining binary may decrease or increase at random though, typically in multiple-body system resulting in mergers rather than circularization.tempus said:Summary: Inspirals that circularize
