Analytic Solution for the Motion of Spinning Particles in Kerr Space-Time
Viktor Skoupý, Vojtěch 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
Vojtěch 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, Vojtěch 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, Vojtěch 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…
Growth of resonances and chaos for a spinning test particle in the Schwarzschild background
Ondřej Zelenka, Georgios Lukes-Gerakopoulos, Vojtěch Witzany +1
Inspirals of stellar mass compact objects into supermassive black holes are known as extreme mass ratio inspirals. In the simplest approximation, the motion of the compact object i…
Hamiltonians and canonical coordinates for spinning particles in curved space-time
Vojtěch Witzany, Jan Steinhoff, Georgios Lukes-Gerakopoulos
The spin-curvature coupling as captured by the so-called Mathisson-Papapetrou-Dixon (MPD) equations is the leading order effect of the finite size of a rapidly rotating compact ast…
