Geometry and dynamics of a tidally deformed black hole
Eric Poisson, Igor Vlasov
The metric of a nonrotating black hole deformed by a tidal interaction is calculated and expressed as an expansion in the strength of the tidal coupling. The expansion parameter is…
Constructing the self-force
Eric Poisson
I present an overview of the methods involved in the computation of the scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational self-forces acting on a point particle moving in a curved spaceti…
Tidal interaction of a small black hole in the field of a large Kerr black hole
Simon Comeau, Eric Poisson
The rates at which the mass and angular momentum of a small black hole change as a result of a tidal interaction with a much larger black hole are calculated to leading order in th…
Tidal interaction of black holes and Newtonian viscous bodies
Eric Poisson
The tidal interaction of a (rotating or nonrotating) black hole with nearby bodies produces changes in its mass, angular momentum, and surface area. Similarly, tidal forces acting…
Relativistic theory of tidal Love numbers
Taylor Binnington, Eric Poisson
In Newtonian gravitational theory, a tidal Love number relates the mass multipole moment created by tidal forces on a spherical body to the applied tidal field. The Love number is…
