We present a first complete implementation of an effective-one-body (EOB) model for extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) that incorporates aligned spins (on both the primary and the secondary) as well as orbital eccentricity. The model…

A Hamiltonian formulation is given for the gravitational dynamics of two spinning compact bodies to next-to-leading order ($G/c^4$ and $G^2/c^4$) in the spin-orbit interaction. We use a novel approach (valid to linear order in the spins),…

We compute the purely local-in-time (scale-free and logarithm-free) part of the conservative dynamics of gravitationally interacting two-body systems at the fourth post-Minkowskian order, and at the thirtiest order in velocity. The…
