Computing gravitational radiation from highly eccentric bound binaries in the small-mass-ratio limit

Diego Andrés Rivera Orona, Scott A. Hughes

Precise strong-gravity models describing the evolution of bound compact binary systems provide important information about the gravitational radiation such binaries generate and ho…

Shifted-geodesic approximation for spinning-body gravitational wave fluxes

Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes, Viktor Skoupý +2

We present a shifted-geodesic framework for computing gravitational-wave fluxes from spinning test bodies moving on bound orbits of Kerr black holes. The method provides a simple a…

Gravitational waves from the late inspiral, transition, and plunge of small-mass-ratio eccentric binaries

Devin R. Becker, Scott A. Hughes, Gaurav Khanna

Black hole binaries with small mass ratios will be important sources for the forthcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. Models of such binaries also serve as us…

The Fast and the Frame-Dragging: Efficient waveforms for asymmetric-mass eccentric equatorial inspirals into rapidly-spinning black holes

Christian E. A. Chapman-Bird, Lorenzo Speri, Zachary Nasipak +13

Observations of gravitational-wave signals emitted by compact binary inspirals provide unique insights into their properties, but their analysis requires accurate and efficient wav…

Transition from adiabatic inspiral to plunge for eccentric binaries

Devin R. Becker, Scott A. Hughes

Black hole binaries with small mass ratios will be critical targets for the forthcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. They also serve as useful tools for under…

Tidal heating as a discriminator for horizons in equatorial eccentric extreme mass ratio inspirals

Sayak Datta, Richard Brito, Scott A. Hughes +2

Tidal heating in a binary black hole system is driven by the absorption of energy and angular momentum by the black hole's horizon. Previous works have shown that this phenomenon b…

Parameterizing black hole orbits for adiabatic inspiral

Scott A. Hughes

Adiabatic binary inspiral in the small mass ratio limit treats the small body as moving along a geodesic of a large Kerr black hole, with the geodesic slowly evolving due to radiat…

Extreme mass-ratio inspiral and waveforms for a spinning body into a Kerr black hole via osculating geodesics and near-identity transformations

Lisa V. Drummond, Philip Lynch, Alexandra G. Hanselman +2

Understanding the orbits of spinning bodies in curved spacetime is important for modeling binary black hole systems with small mass ratios. At zeroth order in mass ratio, the small…
