Practical motivationPractical motivationAccurate calculation of the accumulating phase for long gravitational wave trains emitted from an extreme mass-ratio binary system (Lior Burko, Eric Poisson). These calculations can be used to construct accurate waveforms for LISA.
This requires accurate calculation of the orbit (of the smaller mass object) in the background spacetime induced by the more massive object.
