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…
Waveform Modelling for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna
LISA Consortium Waveform Working Group, Niayesh Afshordi, Sarp Akçay +144
LISA, the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna, will usher in a new era in gravitational-wave astronomy. As the first anticipated space-based gravitational-wave detector, it will exp…
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…
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 Kerr spacetime
Anna Heffernan, Adrian Ottewill, Barry Wardell
In a previous paper, we computed expressions for the Detweiler-Whiting singular field of point scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational charges following a geodesic of the Schwarz…
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…
