Abstract
We raise the analytical knowledge of the eccentricity-expansion of the Detweiler-Barack-Sago redshift invariant in a Schwarzschild spacetime up to the 9.5th post-Newtonian order (included) for the and contributions, and up to the 4th post-Newtonian order for the higher eccentricity contributions through . We convert this information into an analytical knowledge of the effective-one-body radial potentials , and through the 9.5th post-Newtonian order. We find that our analytical results are compatible with current corresponding numerical self-force data.
