Prospects for Fundamental Physics with LISA
Enrico Barausse, Emanuele Berti, Thomas Hertog +318
In this paper, which is of programmatic rather than quantitative nature, we aim to further delineate and sharpen the future potential of the LISA mission in the area of fundamental…

Scalar Self-force for High Spin Black Holes
Geoffrey Compère, Kwinten Fransen, Thomas Hertog +1
We semianalytically investigate the scalar self-force experienced in the final stages of extreme mass ratio inspirals of nonspinning scalar particles into supermassive nearly extre…

Transition from inspiral to plunge into a highly spinning black hole
Geoffrey Compère, Kwinten Fransen, Caroline Jonas
We extend the Ori-Thorne-Kesden procedure to consistently describe the non-quasi-circular transition around the ISCO from inspiral to plunge into a black hole of arbitrary spin, in…
