Spin-orbit precession for eccentric black hole binaries at first order in the mass ratio
Sarp Akcay, David Dempsey, Sam Dolan
We consider spin-orbit ("geodetic") precession for a compact binary in strong-field gravity. Specifically, we compute , the ratio of the accumulated spin-precession and orbital…

Waves and null congruences in a draining bathtub
David Dempsey, Sam R Dolan
We study wave propagation in a draining bathtub: a fluid-mechanical black hole analogue in which perturbations are governed by a Klein-Gordon equation on an effective Lorentzian ge…

Bound states of the Dirac equation on Kerr spacetime
Sam R Dolan, David Dempsey
We formulate the Dirac equation for a massive neutral spin-half particle on a rotating black hole spacetime, and we consider its (quasi)bound states: gravitationally-trapped modes…
