We calculate the unregularized monopole and dipole contributions to the self-force acting on a particle of small mass in a circular orbit around a Schwarzschild black hole. From a self-force point of view, these non-radiating modes are as…

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 discuss a practical method to compute the self-force on a particle moving through a curved spacetime. This method involves two expansions to calculate the self-force, one arising from the particle's immediate past and the other from the…
