Description

In this talk I will review the metric reconstruction machinery used for frequency domain calculations of the first order gravitational self-force on bound geodesics in Kerr spacetime. In particular, I will focus on how each step in this process is affect by relinquishing the up/down reflection symmetry of equatorial orbits, and moving to generic (inclined and eccentric) orbits. If the cluster and coding gods are willing, I will present some fresh preliminary results for the gravitational self-force on an inclined and eccentric orbit.
