Abstract

For a particle of mass μ and scalar charge q, we compute the effects of the scalar field self-force upon circular orbits, upon slightly eccentric orbits and upon the innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of a Schwarzschild black hole of mass m. For circular orbits the self-force is outward and causes the angular frequency at a given radius to decrease. For slightly eccentric orbits the self-force decreases the rate of the precession of the orbit. The effect of the self-force moves the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit inward by 0.122 701×q2/μ, and it increases the angular frequency of the ISCO by the fraction 0.029 165 7×q2/μm.
