Numerical computation of the EOB potential q using self-force results
Sarp Akcay, Maarten van de Meent
The effective-one-body theory (EOB) describes the conservative dynamics of compact binary systems in terms of an effective Hamiltonian approach. The Hamiltonian for moderately ecce…

Self-force as a cosmic censor in the Kerr overspinning problem
Marta Colleoni, Leor Barack, Abhay G. Shah +1
It is known that a near-extremal Kerr black hole can be spun up beyond its extremal limit by capturing a test particle. Here we show that overspinning is always averted once back-r…

Metric perturbations produced by eccentric equatorial orbits around a Kerr black hole
Maarten van de Meent, Abhay G. Shah
We present the first numerical calculation of the (local) metric perturbation produced by a small compact object moving on an eccentric equatorial geodesic around a Kerr black hole…
