Schwarzschild perturbations in Lorenz gauge via elliptic differential equations

Thomas Osburn, Barry Wardell, Erin Battaglia

Accurate predictions of gravitational wave signals from asymmetric compact binaries are accessible through black hole perturbation theory and self-force calculations. Faithful wave…

Self-force calculations with numerical relativity methods

Nils L. Vu, Nami Nishimura, Thomas Osburn +4

To model gravitational waveforms from extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) for the upcoming LISA space mission, gravitational self-force calculations are needed to second order in…

Highly eccentric EMRI waveforms via fast self-forced inspirals

Jonathan McCart, Thomas Osburn, Justin Y. J. Burton

We present new developments and comparisons of competing inspiral and waveform models for highly eccentric non-spinning extreme and intermediate mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs and IMR…

Reissner-Nordström perturbation framework with gravitational wave applications

Justin Y. J. Burton, Thomas Osburn

We present a new convenient framework for modeling Reissner-Nordström black hole perturbations from charged distributions of matter. Using this framework, we quantify how gravitati…

Repeated faint quasinormal bursts in extreme-mass-ratio inspiral waveforms: Evidence from frequency-domain scalar self-force calculations on generic Kerr orbits

Zachary Nasipak, Thomas Osburn, Charles R. Evans

We report development of a code to calculate the scalar self-force on a scalar-charged particle moving on generic bound orbits in the Kerr spacetime. The scalar self-force model al…

Inspirals into a charged black hole

Ruomin Zhu, Thomas Osburn

We model the quasicircular inspiral of a compact object into a more massive charged black hole. Extreme and intermediate mass-ratio inspirals are considered through a small mass-ra…
