Abstract
An extreme mass ratio inspiral takes place when a compact stellar object is inspiraling into a supermassive black hole due to gravitational radiation reaction. Gravitational waves (GWs) from this system can be calculated using the Teukolsky equation (TE).
In our case, the asymptotic GW fluxes of a spinning body orbiting a Kerr black hole are computed by solving numerically the TE both in time and frequency domain. The goal is to produce GW templates for space-based detectors such as LISA.
