| Popis: | Extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs) are among the key sources of gravitational waves for the LISA space-based gravitational wave detector. Achieving sufficient accuracy in the gravitational wave template for these binaries requires modeling the effects of the spin of the comparably light secondary compact object. In this work, we employ the solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the motion of spinning bodies in Kerr space-time to obtain their generic orbits. Then, using the Teukolsky formalism we compute gravitational wave energy and angular momentum fluxes sourced by these orbits valid to linear order in secondary spin, and provide waveform snapshots corresponding to the motion. The solver we have developed substantially improves on previous studies in terms of speed and accuracy, and includes the case of a fully precessing secondary spin. As such, it provides a significant building block for the modelling of waveforms of precessing compact binaries at large mass ratios.
