We study conservative finite-mass corrections to the motion of a particle in a bound (eccentric) strong-field orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole. We assume the particle's mass $\mu$ is much smaller than the black hole mass $M$, and…
We study the dynamics of a pair of extremal (half-BPS) black holes in $\mathcal{N}=8$ supergravity, as a potentially solvable model of gravitational dynamics. As a diagnosis of hidden symmetries, we ask whether the perihelion of the orbits…
We calculate the effect of self-interaction on the "geodetic" spin precession of a compact body in a strong-field orbit around a black hole. Specifically, we consider the spin precession angle $\psi$ per radian of orbital revolution for a…
Exact results are derived, specifically the perihelion shift and the Kepler orbit, for a bound test particle in the Schwarzschild metric with cosmological constant $\Lambda=0$. A series expansion, of $\Delta\phi = 2(2(1-2M/p(3-e))^{-1/2}…
