Generic effective source for scalar self-force calculations
Barry Wardell, Ian Vega, Jonathan Thornburg +1
A leading approach to the modelling of extreme mass ratio inspirals involves the treatment of the smaller mass as a point particle and the computation of a regularized self-force a…
Self-consistent orbital evolution of a particle around a Schwarzschild black hole
Peter Diener, Ian Vega, Barry Wardell +1
The motion of a charged particle is influenced by the self-force arising from the particle's interaction with its own field. In a curved spacetime, this self-force depends on the e…
Intrinsic and extrinsic geometries of a tidally deformed black hole
Ian Vega, Eric Poisson, Ryan Massey
A description of the event horizon of a perturbed Schwarzschild black hole is provided in terms of the intrinsic and extrinsic geometries of the null hypersurface. This description…
The motion of point particles in curved spacetime
Eric Poisson, Adam Pound, Ian Vega
This review is concerned with the motion of a point scalar charge, a point electric charge, and a point mass in a specified background spacetime. In each of the three cases the par…
Effective source approach to self-force calculations
Ian Vega, Barry Wardell, Peter Diener
Numerical evaluation of the self-force on a point particle is made difficult by the use of delta functions as sources. Recent methods for self-force calculations avoid delta functi…
