Dipolar Dark Matter and Cosmology
Luc Blanchet, David Langlois, Alexandre Le Tiec +1
The phenomenology of the modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) can be recovered from a mechanism of "gravitational polarization" of some dipolar medium playing the role of dark matter…
Gravitational self-torque and spin precession in compact binaries
Sam R. Dolan, Niels Warburton, Abraham I. Harte +3
We calculate the effect of self-interaction on the "geodetic" spin precession of a compact body in a strong-field orbit around a black hole. Specifically, we consider the spin prec…
A Note on Celestial Mechanics in Kerr Spacetime
Alexandre Le Tiec
The Hamilton-Jacobi equation for test particles in the Kerr geometry is separable. Using action-angle variables, we establish several relations between various physical quantities…
Periastron Advance in Spinning Black Hole Binaries: Gravitational Self-Force from Numerical Relativity
Alexandre Le Tiec, Alessandra Buonanno, Abdul H. Mroué +8
We study the general relativistic periastron advance in spinning black hole binaries on quasi-circular orbits, with spins aligned or anti-aligned with the orbital angular momentum,…
