Description
Teukolsky equation allows the study of perturbations of the Kerr metric in linear approximation. We shall discuss how the solution of this equation can be used to compute the evolution of an extreme mass ratio inspiral, where a stellar compact object inspirals towards a supermassive black hole due to gravitational radiation reaction. We will address both time domain and frequency domain approaches solving Teukolsky equation.
