Second-order Teukolsky calculations for nonspinning, quasicircular binaries

Benjamin Leather, Andrew Spiers, Adam Pound +4

Currently, the only second-order gravitational self-force calculations have been based on directly solving the perturbative Einstein equations in the Lorenz gauge. That method reli…

Hybridization of second-order gravitational self-force and numerical relativity waveforms for quasi-circular and non-spinning black hole binaries

Hector Iglesias, Leanne Durkan, Deirdre Shoemaker

In the past few decades, the waveform community has made advances in producing waveforms that span the inspiral-merger-ringdown of comparable-mass-ratio black hole binaries using a…

Comparison of 4.5PN and 2SF gravitational energy fluxes from quasicircular compact binaries

Niels Warburton, Barry Wardell, David Trestini +6

Recent years have seen significant advances in models of gravitational waveforms emitted by quasicircular compact binaries in two regimes: the weak-field, post-Newtonian regime, in…

Self-force framework for transition-to-plunge waveforms

Lorenzo Küchler, Geoffrey Compère, Leanne Durkan +1

Compact binaries with asymmetric mass ratios are key expected sources for next-generation gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational self-force theory has been successful in produ…

Accuracy Requirements: Assessing the Importance of First Post-Adiabatic Terms for Small-Mass-Ratio Binaries

Ollie Burke, Gabriel Andres Piovano, Niels Warburton +7

We investigate the impact of post-adiabatic (1PA) terms on parameter estimation for extreme and intermediate mass-ratio inspirals using state-of-the-art waveform models. Our analys…

Metric perturbations of Kerr spacetime in Lorenz gauge: Circular equatorial orbits

Sam R Dolan, Leanne Durkan, Chris Kavanagh +1

We construct the metric perturbation in Lorenz gauge for a compact body on a circular equatorial orbit of a rotating black hole (Kerr) spacetime, using a newly-developed method of…

Gravitational-wave energy flux for compact binaries through second order in the mass ratio

Niels Warburton, Adam Pound, Barry Wardell +2

Within the framework of self-force theory, we compute the gravitational-wave energy flux through second order in the mass ratio for compact binaries in quasicircular orbits. Our re…
