Barack and Sago [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 191101 (2009)] have recently computed the shift of the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of the Schwarzschild spacetime due to the conservative self-force that arises from the finite-mass of an orbiting test-particle. This calculation of the ISCO shift is one of the first concrete results of the self-force program, and provides an exact (fully relativistic) point of comparison with approximate post-Newtonian (PN) computations of the ISCO. Here…

For a Schwarzchild black hole of mass $M$, we consider a test particle falling from rest at infinity and becoming trapped, at late time, on the unstable circular orbit of radius $r=4GM/c^2$. When the

Periastron advance in spinning black hole binaries: comparing effective-one-body and Numerical Relativity
We compute the periastron advance using the effective-one-body formalism for binary black holes moving on quasicircular orbits and having spins collinear with the orbital angular momentum. We compare

Inspiralling and coalescing binary black holes are promising sources of gravitational radiation. The orbital motion and gravitational-wave emission of such system can be modeled using a variety of
Gravitational Self-Force: Orbital Mechanics Beyond Geodesic Motion
The question of motion in a gravitationally bound two-body system is a longstanding open problem of General Relativity. When the mass ratio $$\eta$$ is small, the problem lends itself to a

The prediction of the effective one body formalism, based purely on known analytical results (without any calibration to numerical relativity), agrees strikingly well with the numerical-relativity results.

This review surveys the theory of gravitational self- force in curved spacetime and its application to the astrophysical inspiral problem, and highlights the way in which self-force calculations make a fruitful contact with other approaches to the two-body problem and help inform an accurate universal model of binary black hole inspirals, valid across all mass ratios.

First laws of black hole mechanics, or thermodynamics, come in a variety of different forms. In this paper, from a purely post-Newtonian (PN) analysis, we obtain a first law for binary systems of
