The geometric origin of the thermal eccentricity law
The distribution $f(e)=2e$ is commonly referred to as the `thermal eccentricity distribution' of Keplerian binaries. However, the result does not require thermal equilibrium, and its usual derivations obscure why the distribution is linear in eccentricity. We seek a simple geometrical interpretation
