Science of the LISA mission: A Summary for the European Strategy for Particle Physics

Chiara Caprini, Anna Heffernan, Richard Brito +4

The LISA mission is an international collaboration between ESA, its member states, and NASA, for the detection of gravitational waves from space. It was adopted in January 2024 and…

Self-force regularization of a point particle for generic orbits in Kerr spacetime: electromagnetic and gravitational cases

Anna Heffernan

The self-force is the leading method in modelling waveforms for extreme mass ratio inspirals, a key target of ESA's future space-based gravitational wave detector LISA. In modellin…

Regularization of a scalar charged particle for generic orbits in Kerr spacetime

Anna Heffernan

A scalar charged particle moving in a curved background spacetime will emit a field affecting its own motion; the resolving of this resulting motion is often referred to as the sel…

The unique potential of extreme mass-ratio inspirals for gravitational-wave astronomy

Christopher P. L. Berry, Scott A. Hughes, Carlos F. Sopuerta +6

The inspiral of a stellar-mass compact object into a massive (-) black hole produces an intricate gravitational-wave signal. Due to the extreme-mass…

Accelerated motion and the self-force in Schwarzschild spacetime

Anna Heffernan, Adrian C. Ottewill, Niels Warburton +2

We provide expansions of the Detweiler-Whiting singular field for motion along arbitrary, planar accelerated trajectories in Schwarzschild spacetime. We transcribe these results in…

The Self-Force Problem: Local Behaviour of the Detweiler-Whiting Singular Field

Anna Heffernan

The growing reality of gravitational wave astronomy is giving age-old problems a new lease of life; one such problem is that of the self-force. A charged or massive particle moving…

High-order expansions of the Detweiler-Whiting singular field in Schwarzschild spacetime

Anna Heffernan, Adrian Ottewill, Barry Wardell

The self field of a charged particle has a component that diverges at the particle. We use both coordinate and covariant approaches to compute an expansion of this singular field f…
