Kerr metric perturbations in Lorenz gauge via numerical relativity methods

Nami Nishimura, Nils L. Vu, Adrià Gispert-Fernández +7

Gravitational self-force calculations are needed to accurately describe the motion of a small body in a spinning (Kerr) black hole spacetime, which is vital to predict gravitationa…

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…

Self-force calculations with numerical relativity methods

Nils L. Vu, Nami Nishimura, Thomas Osburn +4

To model gravitational waveforms from extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) for the upcoming LISA space mission, gravitational self-force calculations are needed to second order in…

Advancing the Effective-One-Body Framework in the Test-Mass Limit

Nami Nishimura, Alessandra Buonanno, Guglielmo Faggioli +2

We present SEOB-TML, an enhanced effective-one-body (EOB) framework for the test-mass limit, optimized for quasi-circular, spin-aligned binary black holes. On the dynamical side, w…

New self-force method via elliptic partial differential equations for Kerr inspiral models

Thomas Osburn, Nami Nishimura

We present a new method designed to avoid numerical challenges that have impeded calculation of the Lorenz gauge self-force acting on a compact object inspiraling into a Kerr black…
