3 Black Hole perturbation Theory EMR binaries: µ M 1 PostNewtonian methods do not help much neglect eects of µ on metric use full GR (strong gravity) Giuseppe d'ambrosi for Gravitational Waves 3

4 Black Hole perturbation Theory Dierent stages of an EMR binary inspiral: eccentric orbit, adiabatic approximation plunge: inspiralling orbit merger and ringdown µ and M get closer to each other and the orbit circularizes (but [Cutler et al 1994], [Tanaka et al 1993]) The transition between inspiral and plunge takes place in the region of the last stable orbit (ISCO) Giuseppe d'ambrosi for Gravitational Waves 4

Plunge phase beyond the ISCO, r < 6M µ starts at r 6M towards the horizon r(ϕ) = 6M(1 δ) 1 + e cot 2 ( A 2 ϕ) perturbative parameter δ = 2 3 e = 2ξ 1+2ξ, so 0 < δ < 2 3 solve geodesic equations as evolution equations r r rφ Giuseppe d'ambrosi for Gravitational Waves 12 M

Ask class: what is the Minkowski spacetime in spherical coordinates? ds 2 = dt 2 +dr 2 +r 2 (dθ 2 +sin 2 θdφ 2 ). (1) 1 Tensor manipulations One final thing to learn about tensor manipulation is that the metric tensor is what allows you to raise and lower indices. That is, for example, v α = g αβ v β, where again we use
