We study the effects of a thin gaseous accretion disk on the inspiral of a stellar--mass black hole into a supermassive black hole. We construct a phenomenological angular momentum transport equation that reproduces known disk effects. Disk torques modify the gravitational wave phase evolution to detectable levels with LISA for reasonable disk parameters. The Fourier transform of disk-modified waveforms acquires a correction with a different frequency trend than post-Newtonian vacuum terms. Such inspirals could be used to detect accretion disks with LISA and to probe their physical parameters.

  2. Generalized Perturbed Kepler Problem: Gravitational Wave Imprints from Eccentric Compact Binaries

    gr-qc 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A unified framework for the perturbed Kepler problem derives modified eccentric orbits and gravitational wave imprints from a general perturbed potential, offering a source-specific alternative to post-Newtonian expansions.

  3. Secondary spins of extreme mass ratio inspirals: A probe to the formation channels

    astro-ph.HE 2025-02 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For eccentric and inclined extreme mass-ratio inspirals, the secondary black hole spin may be measurable to about 0.1 at SNR 20, and high spins would point to the Hills formation channel.

  4. Environmental effects in extreme mass ratio inspirals: perturbations to the environment in Kerr

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A perturbative calculation shows that a secondary body in Kerr spacetime creates a wake in a superradiant scalar cloud, with energy fluxes that differ from Schwarzschild predictions by tens of percent.

  5. Relativistic Tidal Transitions of Saturated Kerr Boson Clouds

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Relativistic Kerr wavefunctions change tidal transition matrix elements of saturated boson clouds by up to 21.7% relative to the hydrogenic approximation, with the radial profile responsible for ~80% of the change.

  6. Geometric properties of slowly rotating black holes embedded in matter environments

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The rotation of a surrounding dark-matter halo shifts the light ring, ISCO, epicyclic frequencies, and resonance locations of a slowly spinning black hole in a way that depends on the halo's angular velocity.

  7. Extreme mass-ratio inspiral within an ultralight scalar cloud I. Scalar radiation

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Scalar radiation from an EMRI in an ultralight scalar cloud is computed semi-analytically, showing dipole clouds decelerate and quadrupole clouds accelerate the inspiral, with up to about 100 rad dephasing after 18 months.

  8. The implications of stochastic gas torques for asymmetric binaries in the LISA band

    gr-qc 2025-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hydrodynamic stochastic gas torques do not bias the recovered binary parameters of EMRI/IMRI signals in LISA, but they can bias or hide the inferred accretion disk torque amplitude and slope.

  9. Eccentricity-Modulated Phase Degeneracy and Distinguishability between Dark Matter and Accretion Disk Environmental Effects in EMRIs

    gr-qc 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.5 of 10

    DM dephasing in EMRIs is nearly eccentricity-independent while disk dephasing is strongly suppressed by e0, so residual SNR and distinguishability time favor slightly eccentric orbits for LISA separation of the two effects.
