Dynamics of Relativistic Binaries in Structured and Stochastic Environments: A Lagrange-Fourier-Hansen Framework
Lorenz Zwick, Conor Dyson, Brian C. Seymour +2
We develop a general framework to characterize non-vacuum perturbations to relativistic binaries in the gravitational-wave (GW) driven regime, for use in GW parameter estimation st…
Spiral Density Waves and Torque Balance in the Kerr Geometry
Conor Dyson, Daniel J. D'Orazio
Extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) in relativistic accretion discs are a key science target for the upcoming LISA mission. Existing models of disc-EMRI interactions typically rel…
Lensing and wave optics in the strong field of a black hole
Juno C. L. Chan, Conor Dyson, Matilde Garcia +2
Gravitational waves (GWs) are lensed by matter, offering a unique probe of both the large-scale structure of the Universe and the fundamental properties of GW propagation. GWs can…
Environmental effects in extreme mass ratio inspirals: perturbations to the environment in Kerr
Conor Dyson, Thomas F. M. Spieksma, Richard Brito +2
Future gravitational wave observatories open a unique avenue to study the environments surrounding black holes. Intermediate or extreme mass ratio inspirals will spend thousands to…
