Conservative corrections to the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of a Kerr black hole: a new gauge-invariant post-Newtonian ISCO condition, and the ISCO shift due to test-particle spin and the gravitational self-force
Marc Favata
The innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) delimits the transition from circular orbits to those that plunge into a black hole. In the test-mass limit, well-defined ISCO conditions…
Nonlinear gravitational-wave memory from binary black hole mergers
Marc Favata
Some astrophysical sources of gravitational waves can produce a "memory effect," which causes a permanent displacement of the test masses in a freely falling gravitational-wave det…
Are neutron stars crushed? Gravitomagnetic tidal fields as a mechanism for binary-induced collapse
Marc Favata
Numerical simulations of binary neutron stars by Wilson, Mathews, and Marronetti indicated that neutron stars that are stable in isolation can be made to collapse to black holes wh…
How black holes get their kicks: Gravitational radiation recoil revisited
Marc Favata, Scott A. Hughes, Daniel E. Holz
Gravitational waves from the coalescence of binary black holes carry away linear momentum, causing center of mass recoil. This "radiation rocket" effect has important implications…
