Comparison between self-force and post-Newtonian dynamics: Beyond circular orbits

The gravitational self-force (GSF) and post-Newtonian (PN) schemes are complementary approximation methods for modeling the dynamics of compact binary systems. Comparison of their results in an overlapping domain of validity provides a crucial test for both methods and can be used to enhance their a...
