EMRI Dephasing from a Torsion-Inspired Near-Zone Kerr Deformation: Motivated by Spin-Polarized Dark Matter

Jingxu Wu, Liangyu Luo, Daniil Stepanenko +1

Extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are sensitive probes of weak conservative perturbations in the strong-field region of massive black holes. We study a phenomenological EMRI mod…
