- 1 December 2007
This textbook fills a gap in the existing literature on general relativity by providing the advanced student with practical tools for the computation of many physically interesting quantities. The…
Dynamics of Charged Particles and their Radiation Field
- E. Poisson
- Physics
- 7 September 2006
The motion of a charged particle interacting with its own electromagnetic field is an area of research that has a long history; this problem has never ceased to fascinate its investigators. On the…
The Motion of Point Particles in Curved Spacetime
- E. Poisson, A. Pound, I. Vega
- PhysicsLiving Reviews in Relativity
- 12 June 2003
The mathematical tools required to derive the equations of motion of a point scalar charge, a point electric charge, and a point mass in a specified background spacetime are developed here from scratch.
Gravitational perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime: A Practical covariant and gauge-invariant formalism
- K. Martel, E. Poisson
- Physics
- 8 February 2005
We present a formalism to study the metric perturbations of the Schwarzschild spacetime. The formalism is gauge invariant, and it is also covariant under two-dimensional coordinate transformations…

Relativistic theory of tidal Love numbers
- T. Binnington, E. Poisson
- Physics
- 3 May 2009
In Newtonian gravitational theory, a tidal Love number relates the mass multipole moment created by tidal forces on a spherical body to the applied tidal field. The Love number is dimensionless, and…
