Conservative corrections to the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of a Kerr black hole: A new gauge-invariant post-Newtonian ISCO condition, and the ISCO shift due to test-particle spin and the gravitational self-force
The innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) delimits the transition from circular orbits to those that plunge into a black hole. In the test-mass limit, well-defined ISCO conditions exist for the Kerr and Schwarzschild spacetimes. In the finite-mass case, there are a large variety of ways to define an ISCO in a post-Newtonian (PN) context. Here I generalize the gauge-invariant ISCO condition of ...
متن کاملGravitational self-force correction to the innermost stable circular equatorial orbit of a Kerr black hole.
For a self-gravitating particle of mass μ in orbit around a Kerr black hole of mass M ≫ μ, we compute the O(μ/M) shift in the frequency of the innermost stable circular equatorial orbit due to the conservative piece of the gravitational self-force acting on the particle. Our treatment is based on a Hamiltonian formulation of the dynamics in terms of geodesic motion in a certain locally defined ...
متن کاملLast Orbits of Binary Black Holes * the Isco (for Innermost Stable Circular Orbit). 2. Numerical Solution
Received (Day Month Year) Binary black hole systems in the pre-coalescence stage are numerically constructed by demanding that the associated spacetime admits a helical Killing vector. Comparison with third order post-Newtonian calculations indicates a rather good agreement until the innermost stable circular orbit. 1. Quasi-equilibrium configurations of binary black holes 1.1. Helical Killing ...
متن کاملConservative self-force correction to the innermost stable circular orbit: Comparison with multiple post-Newtonian-based methods
Barack and Sago [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 191101 (2009)] have recently computed the shift of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of the Schwarzschild spacetime due to the conservative self-force that arises from the finite-mass of an orbiting test-particle. This calculation of the ISCO shift is one of the first concrete results of the self-force program, and provides an exact (fully relativ...
متن کاملSelf-gravitating ring of matter in orbit around a black hole: the innermost stable circular orbit
We study analytically a black-hole-ring system which is composed of a stationary axisymmetric ring of particles in orbit around a perturbed Kerr black hole of mass M . In particular, we calculate the shift in the orbital frequency of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) due to the finite mass m of the orbiting ring. It is shown that for thin rings of half-thickness r M , the dominant fini...
