Pitching Cosmic Curveballs: Environmental Effects on Extreme-Mass-Ratio Inspirals with Spinning Secondaries
Leif Lui, Lisa V. Drummond, Alejandro Torres-Orjuela
Much like the aerodynamic deflection of a spinning curveball, a rotating secondary in an extreme-mass-ratio inspiral (EMRI) experiences Magnus and lift forces, in addition to the s…
Shifted-geodesic approximation for spinning-body gravitational wave fluxes
Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes, Viktor Skoupý +2
We present a shifted-geodesic framework for computing gravitational-wave fluxes from spinning test bodies moving on bound orbits of Kerr black holes. The method provides a simple a…
Extreme mass-ratio inspiral and waveforms for a spinning body into a Kerr black hole via osculating geodesics and near-identity transformations
Lisa V. Drummond, Philip Lynch, Alexandra G. Hanselman +2
Understanding the orbits of spinning bodies in curved spacetime is important for modeling binary black hole systems with small mass ratios. At zeroth order in mass ratio, the small…
Extreme mass-ratio inspiral of a spinning body into a Kerr black hole I: Evolution along generic trajectories
Lisa V. Drummond, Alexandra G. Hanselman, Devin R. Becker +1
The study of spinning bodies moving in curved spacetime has relevance to binary black hole systems with large mass ratios, as well as being of formal interest. At zeroth order in a…
Asymptotic gravitational-wave fluxes from a spinning test body on generic orbits around a Kerr black hole
Viktor Skoupý, Georgios Lukes-Gerakopoulos, Lisa V. Drummond +1
This work provides gravitational wave energy and angular momentum asymptotic fluxes from a spinning body moving on generic orbits in a Kerr spacetime up to linear in spin approxima…
Precisely computing bound orbits of spinning bodies around black holes II: Generic orbits
Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes
In this paper, we continue our study of the motion of spinning test bodies orbiting Kerr black holes. Non-spinning test bodies follow geodesics of the spacetime in which they move.…
Precisely computing bound orbits of spinning bodies around black holes I: General framework and results for nearly equatorial orbits
Lisa V. Drummond, Scott A. Hughes
Very large mass ratio binary black hole systems are of interest both as a clean limit of the two-body problem in general relativity, as well as for their importance as sources of l…
