Analytical determination of the periastron advance in spinning binaries from self-force computations

Analytical determination of the periastron advance in spinning binaries from self-force computations

We present the first analytical computation of the (conservative) gravitational self-force correction to the periastron advance around a spinning black hole. Our result is accurate to the second order in the rotational parameter and through the 9.5 post-Newtonian level. It has been obtained as the circular limit of the correction …
