Abstract
The detection of gravitational waves from Extreme mass Ratio Inspirals (EMRIs) by the future space-based gravitational-wave detectors demands the generation of accurate enough waveform templates. Since the spin of the smaller secondary body cannot be neglected for the detection and parameter estimation of EMRIs, we study its influence on the phase of the gravitational waves from EMRIs with spinning secondary. We focus on generic eccentric equatorial orbits around a Kerr black hole. To model the spinning secondary object, we use the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon equations in the pole-dipole approximation. Furthermore, we linearize in spin the orbital variables and the gravitational-wave fluxes from the respective orbits. We obtain these fluxes by using the Teukolsky formalism in the frequency domain. We derive the evolution equations for the spin induced corrections to the adiabatic evolution of an inspiral. Finally, through their numerical integration we find the gravitational-wave phase shift between an inspiral of a spinning and a non-spinnig body.
