Multimessenger prospects of quasi-periodic eruptions
VojtÄch Witzany, Alessia Franchini, Matteo Bonetti +1
Quasi-Periodic Eruptions (QPEs) are recurring soft X-ray transients that may be generated by inspirals of stellar-mass objects spiraling into supermassive black holes, known as ext…
Analytic Solution for the Motion of Spinning Particles in Kerr Space-Time
Viktor Skoupý, VojtÄch Witzany
The equations of motion of massive test particles near Kerr black holes are separable in Boyer-Lindquist coordinates, as established by Carter. This separability, however, is lost…
Actions of spinning compact binaries: Spinning particle in Kerr matched to dynamics at 1.5 post-Newtonian order
VojtÄch Witzany, Viktor Skoupý, Leo C. Stein +1
The motion of compact binaries is influenced by the spin of their components starting at the 1.5 post-Newtonian (PN) order. On the other hand, in the large mass ratio limit, the sp…
Post-Newtonian expansions of extreme mass ratio inspirals of spinning bodies into Schwarzschild black holes
Viktor Skoupý, VojtÄch Witzany
Space-based gravitational-wave detectors such as LISA are expected to detect inspirals of stellar-mass compact objects into massive black holes. Modeling such inspirals requires fu…
Fast inspirals and the treatment of orbital resonances
Philip Lynch, VojtÄch Witzany, Maarten van de Meent +1
Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs), where a compact object orbits a massive black hole, are a key source of gravitational waves for the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna…
