Strong-field scattering of two spinning black holes: Numerics versus Analytics
Seth Hopper, Alessandro Nagar, Piero Rettegno
We present new Numerical Relativity calculations of the scattering angle between two, equal-mass, black holes on hyperbolic-like orbits. We build upon previous work considering…
Determination of new coefficients in the angular momentum and energy fluxes at infinity to 9PN for eccentric Schwarzschild extreme-mass-ratio inspirals using mode-by-mode fitting
Christopher Munna, Charles R. Evans, Seth Hopper +1
We present an extension of work in an earlier paper showing high precision comparisons between black hole perturbation theory and post-Newtonian (PN) theory in their region of over…
Black holes, gravitational waves and fundamental physics: a roadmap
Leor Barack, Vitor Cardoso, Samaya Nissanke +203
The grand challenges of contemporary fundamental physics---dark matter, dark energy, vacuum energy, inflation and early universe cosmology, singularities and the hierarchy problem-…
Unbound motion on a Schwarzschild background: Practical approaches to frequency domain computations
Seth Hopper
Gravitational perturbations due to a point particle moving on a static black hole background are naturally described in Regge-Wheeler gauge. The first-order field equations reduce…
Scattering of point particles by black holes: gravitational radiation
Seth Hopper, Vitor Cardoso
Gravitational waves can teach us not only about sources and the environment where they were generated, but also about the gravitational interaction itself. Here we study the featur…
Spin-orbit precession along eccentric orbits for extreme mass ratio black hole binaries and its effective-one-body transcription
Chris Kavanagh, Donato Bini, Thibault Damour +3
In this work we present an analytical gravitational self-force calculation of the spin-orbit precession along an eccentric orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole, following closel…
