Adiabatic and post-adiabatic approaches to extreme mass ratio inspiral

Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) show a strong separation of timescales, with the time characterizing inspiral, T i , much longer than any time To characterizing orbital motions. The ratio of these timescales (which is essentially an EMRI's mass ratio) can be regarded as a parameter that co...
