Modeling the horizon-absorbed gravitational flux for equatorial-circular orbits in Kerr spacetime

We propose an improved analytical model for the horizon-absorbed gravitational-wave energy flux of a small body in circular orbit in the equatorial plane of a Kerr black hole. Post-Newtonian (PN) theory provides an analytical description of the multipolar components of the absorption flux through Ta...
