The Science of the Einstein Telescope

Adrian Abac, Raul Abramo, Simone Albanesi +485

Einstein Telescope (ET) is the European project for a gravitational-wave (GW) observatory of third-generation. In this paper we present a comprehensive discussion of its science ob…

Tidal Love numbers and quasi-normal modes of the Schwarzschild-Hernquist black hole

Sumanta Chakraborty, Geoffrey Compère, Ludovico Machet

We derive the model of the Schwarzschild black hole immersed into a dark matter halo with a relativistic Hernquist profile, the Schwarzschild-Hernquist black hole, and obtain its t…

Approach to the separatrix with eccentric orbits

Guillaume Lhost, Geoffrey Compère

Eccentric binary compact mergers are prime targets of current and future gravitational wave observatories. In the small mass ratio expansion, post-adiabatic inspirals have been mod…

Self-force framework for transition-to-plunge waveforms

Lorenzo Küchler, Geoffrey Compère, Leanne Durkan +1

Compact binaries with asymmetric mass ratios are key expected sources for next-generation gravitational wave detectors. Gravitational self-force theory has been successful in produ…

An asymptotic framework for gravitational scattering

Geoffrey Compère, Samuel E. Gralla, Hongji Wei

Asymptotically flat spacetimes have been studied in five separate regions: future/past timelike infinity , future/past null infinity , and spatial infinity…

Multipole expansion of gravitational waves: memory effects and Bondi aspects

Luc Blanchet, Geoffrey Compère, Guillaume Faye +2

In our previous work, we proposed an algorithm to transform the metric of an isolated matter source in the multipolar post-Minkowskian approximation in harmonic (de Donder) gauge t…

Generalized Carter constant for quadrupolar test bodies in Kerr spacetime

Geoffrey Compère, Adrien Druart, Justin Vines

We establish the existence of a deformation of the usual Carter constant which is conserved along the motion in a fixed Kerr background of a spinning test body possessing the spin-…

Asymptotically matched quasi-circular inspiral and transition-to-plunge in the small mass ratio expansion

Geoffrey Compère, Lorenzo Küchler

In the small mass ratio expansion and on the equatorial plane, the two-body problem for point particles in general relativity admits a quasi-circular inspiral motion followed by a…

Classification of radial Kerr geodesic motion

Geoffrey Compère, Yan Liu, Jiang Long

We classify radial timelike geodesic motion of the exterior non-extremal Kerr spacetime by performing a taxonomy of inequivalent root structures of the first order radial geodesic…

Complete set of quasi-conserved quantities for spinning particles around Kerr

Geoffrey Compère, Adrien Druart

We revisit the conserved quantities of the Mathisson-Papapetrou-Tulczyjew equations describing the motion of spinning particles on a fixed background. Assuming Ricci-flatness and t…

Classical and Quantized General-Relativistic Angular Momentum

Geoffrey Compère, David A. Nichols

Angular momentum at null infinity has a supertranslation ambiguity from the lack of a preferred Poincaré group and a similar ambiguity when the center-of-mass position changes as l…

Self-consistent adiabatic inspiral and transition motion

Geoffrey Compère, Lorenzo Küchler

The transition motion of a point particle around the last stable orbit of Kerr is described at leading order in the transition-timescale expansion. Taking systematically into accou…
