Zusammenfassung:A compact stellar-mass object inspiraling onto a massive black hole deviates from geodesic motion due to radiation-reaction forces as well as finite-size effects. Such postgeodesic deviations need to be included with sufficient precision into wave-form models for the upcoming space-based gravitational-wave detector LISA. I present the formulation and solution of the Hamilton-Jacobi equation of geodesics near Kerr black holes perturbed by the so-called spin-curvature coupling, the leading-order finite-size effect. In return, this solution allows one to compute a number of observables such as the turning points of the orbits as well as the fundamental frequencies of motion. This result provides one of the necessary ingredients for waveform models for LISA and an important contribution useful for the relativistic two-body problem in general.
