Gravitational radiation reaction and inspiral waveforms in the adiabatic limit.
We describe progress evolving an important limit of binaries in general relativity: stellar mass compact objects spiraling into much larger black holes. Such systems are of great observational interest. We have developed tools to compute for the first time the radiation from generic orbits. Using global conservation laws, we find the orbital evolution and waveforms for special cases. For generi...
متن کاملZoom and whirl: Eccentric equatorial orbits around spinning black holes and their evolution under gravitational radiation reaction
We study eccentric equatorial orbits of a test-body around a Kerr black hole under the influence of gravitational radiation reaction. We have adopted a well established two-step approach: assuming that the particle is moving along a geodesic ~justifiable as long as the orbital evolution is adiabatic! we calculate numerically the fluxes of energy and angular momentum radiated to infinity and to ...
متن کاملTransition from inspiral to plunge in precessing binaries of spinning black holes
We investigate the non-adiabatic dynamics of spinning black hole binaries by using an analytical Hamiltonian completed with a radiation-reaction force, containing spin couplings, which matches the known rates of energy and angular momentum losses on quasi-circular orbits. We consider both a straightforward post-Newtonian-expanded Hamiltonian (including spin-dependent terms), and a version of th...
متن کاملTransition from inspiral to plunge for a compact body in a circular equatorial orbit around a massive, spinning black hole
There are three regimes of gravitational-radiation-reaction-induced inspiral for a compact body with mass m , in a circular, equatorial orbit around a Kerr black hole with mass M@m: ~i! the adiabatic inspiral regime, in which the body gradually descends through a sequence of circular, geodesic orbits; ~ii! a transition regime, near the innermost stable circular orbit ~isco!; ~iii! the plunge re...
متن کاملComputing Inspirals in Kerr in the Adiabatic Regime. I. the Scalar Case
A key source for LISA will be the inspiral of compact objects into massive black holes. Recently Mino has shown that in the adiabatic limit, gravitational waveforms for these sources can be computed by using for the radiation reaction force the gradient of one half the difference between the retarded and advanced metric perturbations. Using post-Newtonian expansions, we argue that the resulting...
