We extend our previous results of the 14th post-Newtonian (PN) order expansion of gravitational waves for a test particle in circular orbits around a Schwarzschild black hole to the 22PN order, i.e. $v^{44}$ beyond the leading Newtonian approximation where $v$ is the orbital velocity of a test particle. Comparing our 22PN formula for the energy flux with high precision numerical results, we find that the relative error of the 22PN flux at the innermost stable circular orbit is about $10^{-5}$. We also estimate the phase difference between the 22PN waveforms and numerical waveforms after a two-year inspiral. We find that the dephase is about $10^{-9}$ for $\mu/M=10^{-4}$ and $10^{-2}$ for $\mu/M=10^{-5}$ where $\mu$ is the mass of the compact object and $M$ the mass of the central supermassive black hole. Finally, we construct a hybrid formula of the energy flux by supplementing the 4PN formula of the energy flux for circular and equatorial orbits around a Kerr black hole with all the present 22PN terms for the case of a Schwarzschild black hole. Comparing the hybrid formula with the the full numerical results, we examine the performance of the hybrid formula for the case of Kerr black hole.Comment: 22 pages, additional datafiles are available at this http URL

Scientific analysis for the gravitational wave detector LISA will require theoretical waveforms from extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) that extensively cover all possible orbital and spin configurations around astrophysical Kerr black holes. However, on-the-fly calculations of these waveforms have not yet overcome the high dimensionality of the parameter space. To confront this challenge, we present a user-ready EMRI waveform model for generic (eccentric and inclined) orbits in Kerr spacetime, using an analytical self-force approach. Our model accurately covers all EMRIs with arbitrary inclination and black hole spin, up to modest eccentricity (≲0.3) and separation (≳2–10  M from the last stable orbit). In that regime, our waveforms are accurate at the leading “adiabatic” order, and they approximately capture transient self-force resonances that significantly impact the gravitational wave phase. The model fills an urgent need for extensive waveforms in ongoing data-analysis studies, and its individual components will continue to be useful in future science-adequate waveforms.

We investigate the solution of the continued fraction equation by which we determine "the renormalized angular momentum parameter", $\nu$, in the formalism developed by Leaver and Mano, Suzuki, and Takasugi. In this formalism, we describe the homogeneous solutions of the radial Teukolsky equation, which is the basic equation of the black hole perturbation formalism. We find that, contrary to the assumption made in previous works, the solution, $\nu$, becomes complex valued as $\omega$ (the angular frequency) becomes large for each $l$ and $m$ (the degree and order of the spin-weighted spheroidal harmonics). We compare the power radiated by gravitational waves from a particle in a circular orbit in the equatorial plane around a Kerr black hole in two ways, one using the Mano-Suzuki-Takasugi formalism with complex $\nu$ and the other using a direct numerical integration method. We find that the two methods produce consistent results. These facts prove the validity of using complex solutions to determine the homogeneous solutions of the Teukolsky equation
