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…
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…
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…
