Octupolar invariants for compact binaries on quasicircular orbits

We extend the gravitational self-force methodology to identify and compute new O(μ) tidal invariants for a compact body of mass μ on a quasicircular orbit about a black hole of mass M≫μ. In the octupolar sector we find seven new degrees of freedom, made up of 3+3 conservative/dissipative ‘electric’...
