Orbiting Radiation Stars
Dean P. Foster, John Langford, Gabe Perez-Giz
We study a numerical solution to Einstein's equation for a compact object composed of null particles. The solution avoids quantum scale regimes and hence neither relies upon nor ig…
Faster computation of adiabatic EMRIs using resonances
Rebecca Grossman, Janna Levin, Gabe Perez-Giz
Motivated by the prohibitive computational cost of producing adiabatic extreme mass ratio inspirals, we explain how a judicious use of resonant orbits can dramatically expedite bot…
The harmonic structure of generic Kerr orbits
Rebecca Grossman, Janna Levin, Gabe Perez-Giz
Generic Kerr orbits exhibit intricate three-dimensional motion. We offer a classification scheme for these intricate orbits in terms of periodic orbits. The crucial insight is that…
Homoclinic Orbits around Spinning Black Holes II: The Phase Space Portrait
Gabe Perez-Giz, Janna Levin
In paper I in this series, we found exact expressions for the equatorial homoclinic orbits: the separatrix between bound and plunging, whirling and not whirling. As a companion to…
Homoclinic Orbits around Spinning Black Holes I: Exact Solution for the Kerr Separatrix
Janna Levin, Gabe Perez-Giz
Under the dissipative effects of gravitational radiation, black hole binaries will transition from an inspiral to a plunge. The separatrix between bound and plunging orbits feature…
A Periodic Table for Black Hole Orbits
Janna Levin, Gabe Perez-Giz
Understanding the dynamics around rotating black holes is imperative to the success of the future gravitational wave observatories. Although integrable in principle, test particle…
