Description

I have calculated gravitational wave memory effects generated by small mass ratio inspirals at second order in Schwarzschild spacetime and first order in Kerr spacetime. This is a step towards generating complete waveform templates for LIGO and LISA. I will present my results along with comparisons to PN results.
