Asymptotically matched quasi-circular inspiral and transition-to-plunge in the small mass ratio expansion
In the small mass ratio expansion and on the equatorial plane, the two-body problem for point particles in general relativity admits a quasi-circular inspiral motion followed by a transition-to-plunge motion. We first derive the equations governing the quasi-circular inspiral in the Kerr backgrou...
