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…

Schwarzschild perturbations in Lorenz gauge via elliptic differential equations

Thomas Osburn, Barry Wardell, Erin Battaglia

Accurate predictions of gravitational wave signals from asymmetric compact binaries are accessible through black hole perturbation theory and self-force calculations. Faithful wave…

Self-force calculations with numerical relativity methods

Nils L. Vu, Nami Nishimura, Thomas Osburn +4

To model gravitational waveforms from extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) for the upcoming LISA space mission, gravitational self-force calculations are needed to second order in…

Spin-aligned inspiral waveforms from self-force and post-Newtonian theory

Loïc Honet, Josh Mathews, Geoffrey Compère +5

We present the state-of-the-art waveform model WaSABI-C for quasicircular inspirals of spinning black hole binaries with aligned or anti-aligned spins. Our model synthesizes the mo…

Post-adiabatic self-force waveforms: slowly spinning primary and precessing secondary

Josh Mathews, Barry Wardell, Adam Pound +1

Recent progress in gravitational self-force theory has led to the development of a first post-adiabatic (1PA) waveform model for nonspinning, quasicircular compact binaries [Phys.…

Effective source for second-order self-force calculations: quasicircular orbits in Schwarzschild spacetime

Samuel D. Upton, Barry Wardell, Adam Pound +2

Recent years have seen the first production of "post-adiabatic" gravitational-waveform models based on second-order gravitational self-force theory. These models rely on calculatio…
