We compute the linear metric perturbation to a Schwarzschild black hole generated by a spinning compact object, specialising to circular equatorial orbits with an (anti-)aligned spin vector. We derive a two-timescale expansion of the field…

The motion of a small compact object in a curved background spacetime deviates from a geodesic due to the action of its own field, giving rise to a self-force. This self-force may be calculated by integrating the Green function for the wave…

The motion of sufficiently small body in general relativity should be accurately described by a geodesic. However, there should be ``gravitational self-force'' corrections to geodesic motion, analogous to the ``radiation reaction forces''…
