Abstract
Asymmetric binaries, such as intermediate- and extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (IMRIs and EMRIs), will be critical sources for next-generation gravitational-wave detectors such as LISA. These systems are modelled with an asymptotic approximation method known as self-force theory. In this talk, I discuss the foundations of self-force theory, its applications to gravitational waveform modeling, and the current state of the art in the field.
