Transition from adiabatic inspiral to plunge for eccentric binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Scott A. Hughes | First 5 Authors: Devin R. Becker, Scott A. Hughes, , , | Summary: Black hole binaries with small mass ratios will be critical targets for the forthcoming Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) mission. They also serve as useful tools for understanding the properties of binaries at general mass ratios. […]
