Analytical effective one-body formalism for extreme-mass-ratio inspirals with eccentric orbits

Chen Zhang,Wen-Biao Han,Shu-Cheng Yang

Figure 9. Four segments of inspiral (2, 2) waveforms. These four waveforms describe the same inspiraling orbit whose initial parameters are a = 0.9, p0 = 10 M, and e0 = 0.6 at four moments. The mass of the SMBH is 106M⊙, the mass ratio is 10−3, the distance is 1 Gpc, and the observer’s direction of sight is ‘face on’.
