Perturbative approach to an orbital evolution around a supermassive black hole
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors assume that the deviation is small and show that the half-advanced minus half-retarded field surprisingly provides the correct radiation reaction force, in a time-averaged sense, and determines the orbit of the particle.

Abstract: A charge-free, point particle of infinitesimal mass orbiting a Kerr black hole is known to move along a geodesic. When the particle has a finite mass or charge, it emits radiation which carries away orbital energy and angular momentum, and the orbit deviates from a geodesic. In this paper we assume that the deviation is small and show that the half-advanced minus half-retarded field surprisingly provides the correct radiation reaction force, in a time-averaged sense, and determines the orbit of the particle.

Adiabatic inspirals under electromagnetic radiation reaction on Kerr spacetime
Ethan James German,Kevin Cunningham,Visakan Balakumar,Niels Warburton,Sam R. Dolan +4 more
TL;DR: Adiabatic inspirals under electromagnetic radiation reaction on Kerr spacetime calculate trajectories in the $(p,e)$ plane for inspirals in the equatorial plane of a rotating black hole. EM-driven inspirals are less efficiently circularized than gravitational-wave driven inspirals.
Gravitational Wave Emission from Binary Mergers: Ideal Versus Real Picture
Prasad Basu
- 01 Jan 2018
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the works studying the signatures of accretion disks on the gravitational wave signals generated by extreme mass ratio binary systems of compact objects is given. But, the authors focus on the effects produced by hydrodynamic drag of the disk on the orbiting companion and find that the drag effects generated by the disk matter are indeed capable of modifying the companion's motion and hence, hence, the gravity wave signal emitted from the system.

Radiation damping in a gravitational field
Bryce S. DeWitt,Robert W. Brehme +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the validity of equivalence is examined from the point of view of a charged mass point moving in an externally given gravitational field, and a covariant generalization of Dirac's work on the classical radiating electron is presented.

Axiomatic approach to electromagnetic and gravitational radiation reaction of particles in curved spacetime
Theodore C. Quinn,Robert M. Wald +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors derive an expression for the electromagnetic self-force which agrees with that of DeWitt and Brehme as corrected by Hobbs, and show that the deviation from geodesic motion arises entirely from a tail term, in agreement with recent results of Mino et al.

Approximating the inspiral of test bodies into Kerr black holes
TL;DR: In this paper, a new approximate method for constructing gravitational radiation driven inspirals of test bodies orbiting Kerr black holes is presented, which can be used for constructing approximate waveforms that can be applied to study data analysis problems for the future Laser Interferometer Space Antenna gravitational-wave observatory.
Black Hole Perturbation
TL;DR: In this paper, the energy flux and angular momentum flux formulas for a particle orbiting a black hole were derived using the Teukolsky formalism for dealing with the gravitational perturbation of the particle, and a systematic method to calculate higher order post-Newtonian corrections to the gravitational waves emitted by an orbiting particle.
