Self-force theory is the leading method of modeling extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), key sources for the gravitational-wave detector LISA. It is well known that for an accurate EMRI model, second-order self-force effects are critical,…

The dynamics of a neutral test particle in the spacetime geometry cor-responding to a central massive and charged object (Reissner-Nordstrom Metric) is examined. For a radial distance r = Q^2/M (in natural units) the gravitational force is…

We investigate a compact star in the general $F(R)$ gravity. Developing a novel formulation in the spherically symmetric and static space-time with the matter, we confirm that an arbitrary relation between the mass $M$ and the radius $R_s$…

When a stellar-mass compact object is captured by a supermassive black hole located in a galactic centre, the system losses energy and angular momentum by the emission of gravitational waves. Subsequently, the stellar compact object evolves…
