Trajectory of a Particle around Two Black Holes
Trajectory of a Particle around Two Black Holes
This Demonstration shows some possible trajectories of a particle as it passes near two black holes. The trajectory of the particle depends on its initial position and initial momentum, as well as the mass of each black hole and their locations. These initial conditions determine whether the particle orbits around the black holes and escapes or whether it is captured by one of them. The density plot represents the effective potential energy of the black holes.
