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…
Enhancing the SEOBNRv5 effective-one-body waveform model with second-order gravitational self-force fluxes
Maarten van de Meent, Alessandra Buonanno, Deyan P. Mihaylov +7
The paper incorporates second‑order gravitational self‑force calculations into the SEOBNRv5 effective‑one‑body waveform model, improving its mode amplitudes, energy flux, and bindi…
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…
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…
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…
