Modeling <strong>of</strong> IMRI/EMRIs<br />
What about IMRIs Given that <strong>the</strong> mass ratio is not as small<br />
as in EMRIs, can we also rely on perturbation <strong>the</strong>ory<br />
Factors that we may become very important with respect to<br />
EMRI <strong>modeling</strong>:<br />
Non-linearities (higher-order perturbative terms).<br />
Spin <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> small component <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> binary.<br />
Physical Consequences <strong>of</strong> this additional effects:<br />
Additional time scales (spin-orbit <strong>and</strong> spin-spin<br />
interactions) -> More fundamental frequencies.<br />
