Zoom and whirl: Eccentric equatorial orbits around spinning black holes and their evolution under gravitational radiation reaction
We study eccentric equatorial orbits of a test-body around a Kerr black hole under the influence of gravitational radiation reaction. We have adopted a well established two-step approach: assuming that the particle is moving along a geodesic (justifiable as long as the orbital evolution is adiabatic) we calculate numerically the …
