Kerr metric perturbations for second-order self-force theory
Benjamin Leather, Samuel D. Upton, Patrick Bourg +8
We present a calculation of the first-order metric perturbation arising from a point mass moving on a circular, equatorial orbit in Kerr spacetime. The metric perturbation is speci…
Dissection of a merger-ringdown waveform in the small-mass-ratio limit
Patrick Bourg, Lorenzo Küchler, Benjamin Leather +6
Work over the past two decades has unveiled the rich phenomenology of black hole binary mergers and subsequent ringdowns, involving a tapestry of quasinormal modes (QNMs), nonlinea…
Gravitational memory: new results from post-Newtonian and self-force theory
Kevin Cunningham, Chris Kavanagh, Adam Pound +3
We compute the (displacement) gravitational wave memory due to a quasicircular inspiral of two black holes using a variety of perturbative techniques. Within post-Newtonian theory,…
Adiabatic inspirals under electromagnetic radiation reaction on Kerr spacetime
Ethan J German, Kevin Cunningham, Visakan Balakumar +2
A compact body in orbit about a black hole loses orbital energy and angular momentum through radiation-reaction processes, inspiralling towards the black hole until a final plunge.…
