Towards ultrarelativistic scattering near the light ring: asymptotic divergence of gravitational-wave fluxes

David Trestini, Riccardo Gonzo, Benjamin Leather

Near the threshold between scattering and capture by a Schwarzschild black hole, a particle spends a long time close to an unstable circular orbit, which in the ultrarelativistic l…
