Frequency-domain calculation of the self force: the high-frequency problem and its resolution
Leor Barack, Amos Ori, Norichika Sago
The mode-sum method provides a practical means for calculating the self force acting on a small particle orbiting a larger black hole. In this method, one first computes the spheri…
A Constrained Metropolis-Hastings Search for EMRIs in the Mock LISA Data Challenge 1B
Jonathan R. Gair, Edward K. Porter, Stanislav Babak +1
We describe a search for the extreme-mass-ratio inspiral sources in the Round 1B Mock LISA Data Challenge data sets. The search algorithm is a Monte-Carlo search based on the Metro…
Report on the second Mock LISA Data Challenge
Stanislav Babak, John G. Baker, Matthew J. Benacquista +40
The Mock LISA Data Challenges are a program to demonstrate LISA data-analysis capabilities and to encourage their development. Each round of challenges consists of several data set…
m-Mode Regularization Scheme for the Self Force in Kerr Spacetime
Leor Barack, Darren A. Golbourn, Norichika Sago
We present a new, simple method for calculating the scalar, electromagnetic, and gravitational self forces acting on particles in orbit around a Kerr black hole. The standard ``mod…
Scalar-field perturbations from a particle orbiting a black hole using numerical evolution in 2+1 dimensions
Leor Barack, Darren A Golbourn
We present a new technique for time-domain numerical evolution of the scalar field generated by a pointlike scalar charge orbiting a black hole. Time-domain evolution offers an eff…
Using LISA EMRI sources to test off-Kerr deviations in the geometry of massive black holes
Leor Barack, Curt Cutler
Inspirals of stellar-mass compact objects into black holes are especially interesting sources of gravitational waves for LISA. We investigate whether the emit…
