Abstract

We analyze the gravitational radiation emitted from a particle in circular motion around a Schwarzschild black hole using the framework of quantum eld theory in curved spacetime at tree level. The gravitational perturbations are written in a gauge-invariant formalism for spherically symmetric spacetimes. We discuss the results, comparing them to the radiation emitted by a particle when it is assumed to be orbiting a massive object due to a Newtonian force in at spacetime.
