12 Self-force on radial fall. Why. Classic problem. Lousto (2000) self-force is repulsive, divergence at the horizon, and l dependency while Barack, Lousto (2001) self-force is attractive but without analysis of the impact on the trajectory. de Donder (harmonic) and Regge-Wheeler gauges: regular transformation (for radial only). The mode-sum regularisation is carried out entirely in RW gauge F α(rw) self = [ l=0 F αl(rw) ret A α(rw) L B α(rw) C α(rw) L 1] D α(rw). (1) Plunges and highly eccentric orbits much more frequent than expected (Amaro-Seoane s talk). IN THE LAST PART The most non-adiabatic orbit of all. Full justification for a self-consistent prescription. Very short orbit: hardly time for cumulative effects; does a self-consistent computation bring any difference? 12/20

13 Pragmatic approach The coordinate of the particle ˆr = r + r; 2 nd order coordinate time derivative of the displacement is r = a 1 (g µν ; r, ṙ) r + a 2 (g µν ; r, ṙ) ṙ + a self (h µν ; r, ṙ), (2) First two terms: background geodesic deviation (gd), a self perturbation dependent term (coordinate time). 13/20

14 Pragmatic approach Table: The four zones according to the sign of r, ṙ, r. Zone IV III II I r g 1.2 r g 1.2 r g 2.2 r g 2.2 r g 3.5 r g 3.5 r g r 0 r ṙ r /20

16 Orbital evolution The self-acceleration (MiSaTaQuWa-DeWh) term D 2 z α dτ 2 = 1 2 (g αβ + u α u β )(2h tail µβ;ν h tail µν;β)u µ u ν {z } Self acceleration (Already known) Equation presented at School on Mass and Capra Meeting (2008) in Orléans.

The equations of motion at n th order perturbation theory are more accurate than the (n-1) th equations, but at late times the corrections at n th order will become comparable to the corrections at (n-1) th order. The self-consistent prescription describes motion continuously corrected. e x x + x2 replaced by 2 e x 0 1 e x 1 e + e(x 1) e x 2 e 2 + e 2 (x 2) et caetera. 16/20

There isn t a conceptual impediment. Two ways to implement self-consistency: through stretches of osculating geodesics (the case here), or computing self-force quantities and mode-sum parameters on the real non-geodesic trajectory (never done for a gravitational case). Though the background geodesic deviation loses relevance in a continuous correction approach, its presence is justified by discretisation (time slices) of the trajectory. 17/20

18 Pragmatic versus self-consistent (osculating) a self, r, ṙ, and r from the pragmatic and self-consistent (osculating) methods, and their difference, for r 0 = 15r g. The amplitudes, when computed self-consistently, differ of about 3% after 4r g, and the four zones are slightly shifted towards the horizon. 18/20
