Talk Title

Near-horizon behavior of the second-order metric perturbations

Abstract

The recent observations of gravitational waves has opened a new window to test general relativity. In the future, extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs), in which a stellar-mass compact object of mass \mu spirals into a supermassive black holes of mass M, are expected to be observed by LISA. Such systems can be expressed by using the BH perturbation approach, where we expand equations in the mass ratio \mu/M. However, in order to extract physical parameters from GW observations, the second-order perturbations must be considered. In this talk, we will discuss the behavior of the second-order perturbations near the event horizon of the SMBH.
