Self-consistent orbital evolution of a particle around a Schwarzschild black hole
Peter Diener, Ian Vega, Barry Wardell +1
The motion of a charged particle is influenced by the self-force arising from the particle's interaction with its own field. In a curved spacetime, this self-force depends on the e…
Gravitational radiation reaction and second order perturbation theory
Steven Detweiler
A point particle of small mass m moves in free fall through a background vacuum spacetime metric g_ab and creates a first-order metric perturbation h^1ret_ab that diverges at the p…
High-Accuracy Comparison between the Post-Newtonian and Self-Force Dynamics of Black-Hole Binaries
Luc Blanchet, Steven Detweiler, Alexandre Le Tiec +1
The relativistic motion of a compact binary system moving in circular orbit is investigated using the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation and the perturbative self-force (SF) formali…
High-Order Post-Newtonian Fit of the Gravitational Self-Force for Circular Orbits in the Schwarzschild Geometry
Luc Blanchet, Steven Detweiler, Alexandre Le Tiec +1
We continue a previous work on the comparison between the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation and the gravitational self-force (SF) analysis of circular orbits in a Schwarzschild bac…
Post-Newtonian and Numerical Calculations of the Gravitational Self-Force for Circular Orbits in the Schwarzschild Geometry
Luc Blanchet, Steven Detweiler, Alexandre Le Tiec +1
The problem of a compact binary system whose components move on circular orbits is addressed using two different approximation techniques in general relativity. The post-Newtonian…
Elementary development of the gravitational self-force
Steven Detweiler
The gravitational field of a particle of small mass moving through curved spacetime, with metric , is naturally and easily decomposed into two parts each of which satis…
