Abstract

The lowered accuracy requirements at second order in the mass ratio greatly increases the utility of high-order post-Newtonian calculations at post-adiabatic order. In this talk I will present a methodology for solving the first- and second-order field equations using matched asymptotic expansions. As an application and test of the method, we solve the scalar wave equation sourced by a first order solution to the Regge-Wheeler equation with a particle moving in a circular orbit, and thus provide a construction of an analytic expansions of the Lorenz gauge metric perturbation.
