If a small "particle" of mass $\mu M$ (with $\mu \ll 1$) orbits a black hole of mass $M$, the leading-order radiation-reaction effect is an $\mathcal{O}(\mu^2)$ "self-force" acting on the particle, with a corresponding $\mathcal{O}(\mu)$…
We analytically compute the gravitational self-force correction to the gyroscope precession along slightly eccentric equatorial orbits in the Kerr spacetime, generalizing previous results for the Schwarzschild spacetime. Our results are…
When a charge is held static near a constant density spherical star, it experiences a self-force which is significantly different from the force it would experience when placed near a black hole of the same mass. In this paper, an…
We analytically compute, through the six-and-a-half post-Newtonian order, the second-order-in-eccentricity piece of the Detweiler-Barack-Sago gauge-invariant redshift function for a small mass in eccentric orbit around a Schwarzschild black…
This is the second of two companion papers on computing the self-force in a radiation gauge; more precisely, the method uses a radiation gauge for the radiative part of the metric perturbation, together with an arbitrarily chosen gauge for…
Numerical evaluation of the self-force on a point particle is made difficult by the use of delta functions as sources. Recent methods for self-force calculations avoid delta functions altogether, using instead a finite and extended…
We calculate the singular field of an accelerated point particle (scalar charge, electric charge or small gravitating mass) moving on an accelerated (non-geodesic) trajectory in a generic background spacetime. Using a mode-sum…
We study tidal effects induced by a particle moving along a slightly eccentric equatorial orbits in a Schwarzschild spacetime within the gravitational self-force framework. We compute the first order (conservative) corrections in the…
We consider circular particle motion under the action of an unspecified force in a static spherically symmetric spacetime. We derive the machinery that allows one to find the force acting on a circular particle and deduce whether its…
We study the self-force acting on a static charged point-like particle near a Schwarzschild black hole. We obtain the point-like particle as a limit of a spacetime describing a big neutral black hole with a small charged massive object…
We derive the explicit values of all regularization parameters (RP) for a scalar particle in an arbitrary geodesic orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole. These RP are required within the previously introduced mode-sum method, for…
We consider the self-force acting on a pointlike (electromagnetic or conformal-scalar) charge held fixed on a spacetime with a spherically-symmetric mass distribution of constant density (the Schwarzschild star). The Schwarzschild interior…
We present results from calculations of the orbital evolution in eccentric binaries of nonrotating black holes with extreme mass-ratios. Our inspiral model is based on the method of osculating geodesics, and is the first to incorporate the…
We study the scalar radiation emitted by a source orbiting a Schwarzschild--anti--de Sitter black hole in circular geodesics. We obtain the emitted power using quantum field theory in curved spacetimes at tree level with reflective boundary…
We study eccentric orbits of the Schwarzschild spacetime for extreme mass ratio system (EMRI) in modified gravity theories with additional scalar fields. Due to the additional energy and angular momentum carried away by the scalar field,…
We discuss the gravitational self-force on a particle in a black hole space-time. For a point particle, the full (bare) self-force diverges. The metric perturbation induced by a particle can be divided into two parts, the direct part (or…
It is well known that supermassive black holes in the centers of galaxies are capable of accelerating charged particles to very high energies. In many cases, the particle acceleration by black holes occurs electromagnetically through an…
In this work, we study the gravitational back-reaction (i.e., the "self-force") of a point mass moving around a non-rotating, compact star on a circular orbit. We find that the additional self-force, comparing with the case with a point…
We present a practical method for calculating the gravitational self-force, as well as the electromagnetic and scalar self forces, for a particle in a generic orbit around a Kerr black hole. In particular, we provide the values of all the…
We develop an approach to calculate the self-force on a charged particle held in place in a curved spacetime, in which the particle is attached to a massless string and the force is measured by the string's tension. The calculation is based…
