Self-force approach for radiation reaction

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2009-10-31 v2

Abstract

We overview the recently proposed mode-sum regularization prescription (MSRP) for the calculation of the local radiation-reaction forces, which are crucial for the orbital evolution of binaries. We then describe some new results which were obtained using MSRP, and discuss their importance for gravitational-wave astronomy.
