We study the dynamical interaction between stars surrounding black holes in self-gravitating galaxy cores by using realistic N-body techniques, calibrated by Fokker–Planck approximated models (Fiestas, Spurzem, & Kim 2006). We study the evolution over the relaxation time (collisional nuclei) of non-spherical (triaxial) models as flattening of the system due to rotation is allowed. We follow the interplay between velocity diffusion due to relaxation and black hole star accretion and study accretion rates and cusp formation in spherically symmetric and axisymmetric models.
