The motion of point particles in curved spacetime

E Poisson, A Pound, I Vega - Living Reviews in Relativity, 2011 - Springer
This review is concerned with the motion of a point scalar charge, a point electric charge,
and a point mass in a specified background spacetime. In each of the three cases the …

Matching post-Newtonian and numerical relativity waveforms: Systematic errors and a new phenomenological model for nonprecessing black hole binaries

L Santamaria, F Ohme, P Ajith, B Brügmann… - Physical Review D …, 2010 - APS
We present a new phenomenological gravitational waveform model for the inspiral and
coalescence of nonprecessing spinning black hole binaries. Our approach is based on a …

Self-consistent gravitational self-force

A Pound - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2010 - APS
I review the problem of motion for small bodies in general relativity, with an emphasis on
developing a self-consistent treatment of the gravitational self-force. An analysis of the …

Motion of small objects in curved spacetimes: An introduction to gravitational self-force

A Pound - Equations of Motion in Relativistic Gravity, 2015 - Springer
In recent years, asymptotic approximation schemes have been developed to describe the
motion of a small compact object through a vacuum background to any order in perturbation …

Self-force via m-mode regularization and 2<? format?>+<? format?> 1 D evolution. III.<? format?> Gravitational field on Schwarzschild spacetime

SR Dolan, L Barack - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields, Gravitation, and …, 2013 - APS
This is the third in a series of papers aimed at developing a practical time-domain method for
self-force calculations in Kerr spacetime. The key elements of the method are (i) removal of a …

Mechanics of extended masses in general relativity

AI Harte - Classical and quantum gravity, 2012 - iopscience.iop.org
Abstract The'external'or'bulk'motion of extended bodies is studied in general relativity.
Compact material objects of essentially arbitrary shape, spin, internal composition and …

Self-force calculations with matched expansions and quasinormal mode sums

M Casals, S Dolan, AC Ottewill, B Wardell - Physical Review D—Particles …, 2009 - APS
Accurate modeling of gravitational wave emission by extreme-mass ratio inspirals is
essential for their detection by the LISA mission. A leading perturbative approach involves …

Second-order perturbation theory: problems on large scales

A Pound - Physical Review D, 2015 - APS
In general-relativistic perturbation theory, a point mass accelerates away from geodesic
motion due to its gravitational self-force. Because the self-force is small, one can often …

High-order expansions of the Detweiler-Whiting singular field in Schwarzschild spacetime

A Heffernan, A Ottewill, B Wardell - Physical Review D—Particles, Fields …, 2012 - APS
The self-field of a charged particle has a singular component which diverges at the particle.
We use both coordinate and covariant approaches to compute an expansion of this singular …
