abstract
The general relativistic (Mercury-type) periastron advance is calculated here for the first time with exquisite precision in full general relativity. We use accurate numerical relativity simulations of spinless black hole binaries with mass ratios 1/8 < m1/m2 < 1 and compare with the predictions of several analytic approximation schemes. We find the effective-one-body model to be remarkably accurate, and, surprisingly, so also the predictions of self-force theory [replacing m1/m2 --> m1m2/(m1+m2)^2]. Our results can inform a universal analytic model of the two-body dynamics, crucial for ongoing and future gravitational-wave searches.

Extended 1PA self-force waveforms for slowly spinning primary and precessing secondary, with re-summed 1PAT1R variant showing improved accuracy against NR for q ≳ 5 and |χ1| ≲ 0.1.
Self-force calculations of radiated gravitational wave energy from hyperbolic orbits around Schwarzschild black holes agree with post-Minkowskian results for large impact parameters and velocities up to 0.7c, with further comparisons to post-Newtonian and numerical relativity.
A review of the MPM-PN approximation scheme that yields equations of motion to 4PN order and gravitational waveforms and fluxes to 4.5PN order for compact binary systems.
