Adiabatic and post-adiabatic approaches to extreme mass ratio inspiral

Understand

Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) show a strong separation of timescales, with the time characterizing inspiral, $T_{\rm i}$, much longer than any time $T_{\rm o}$ characterizing orbital motions.

The ratio of these timescales (which is essentially an EMRI's mass ratio) can be regarded as a parameter that controls a perturbative expansion.
Here we describe the value and limitations of an "adiabatic" description of these binaries, which uses only the leading terms arising from such a two-timescale expansion.
An adiabatic approach breaks down when orbits evolve through resonances, with important dynamical and observational consequences.
