bhpwave#
BHPWave (or bhpwave) is a C++ library wrapped in Python that generates gravitational waveforms
of extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) using the adiabatic approximation of black hole
perturbation theory and the self-force formalism. The model is restricted to binaries in which the small body is
undergoing a quasi-circular, equatorial inspiral into a rotating massive black hole. Details of the model are published at Phys. Rev. D 109, 044020 (2024) and the Github repository bhpwave-article.
