Towards adiabatic waveforms for inspiral into Kerr black holes: II. Dynamical sources and generic orbits
Pranesh A. Sundararajan, Gaurav Khanna, Scott A. Hughes +1
This is the second in a series of papers whose aim is to generate ``adiabatic'' gravitational waveforms from the inspiral of stellar-mass compact objects into massive black holes.…
LISA sources and science
Scott A. Hughes
LISA is a planned space-based gravitational-wave (GW) detector that would be sensitive to waves from low-frequency sources, in the band of roughly (0.03 - 0.1) mHz < f < 0.1 Hz. Th…
Circular and non-circular nearly horizon-skimming orbits in Kerr spacetimes
Enrico Barausse, Scott A. Hughes, Luciano Rezzolla
We have performed a detailed analysis of orbital motion in the vicinity of a nearly extremal Kerr black hole. For very rapidly rotating black holes (spin a=J/M>0.9524M) we have fou…
Towards adiabatic waveforms for inspiral into Kerr black holes: I. A new model of the source for the time domain perturbation equation
Pranesh A. Sundararajan, Gaurav Khanna, Scott A. Hughes
We revisit the problem of the emission of gravitational waves from a test mass orbiting and thus perturbing a Kerr black hole. The source term of the Teukolsky perturbation equatio…
Gravitational wave snapshots of generic extreme mass ratio inspirals
Steve Drasco, Scott A. Hughes
Using black hole perturbation theory, we calculate the gravitational waves produced by test particles moving on bound geodesic orbits about rotating black holes. The orbits we cons…
Computing inspirals in Kerr in the adiabatic regime. I. The scalar case
Steve Drasco, Eanna E. Flanagan, Scott A. Hughes
A key source for LISA will be the inspiral of compact objects into supermassive black holes. Recently Mino has shown that in the adiabatic limit, gravitational waveforms for these…
