We describe a new kind of resonance occuring in relativistic three-body hierarchical systems: the precession resonance, occuring when the relativistic precession timescale of a binary equals the period of a distant perturber. We find that, contrary to what most previous studies assume, it can lead to an exponential increase of eccentricity of the binary even when relativistic precession dominates the quadrupolar perturbation. The resonance may happen in the observation band of LISA or change the eccentricity distribution of triples. We discuss the physics of the resonance, showing that it mainly depends on three parameters.

  1. Observable signature of magnetic tidal coupling in hierarchical triple systems

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Magnetic tidal fields from a supermassive black hole trigger new orbital resonances in a companion compact binary, boosting eccentricity and altering its gravitational-wave signal.

  2. Resonant interactions from dynamical perturbers on generic orbits around an extreme mass ratio inspiral

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A numerical scan of 141,130 third-body resonances in EMRI systems finds no action changes above 1% but some waveform phase shifts near 0.1 radian.
