Title : Further high-precision comparisons between perturbation calculations and PN theory for eccentric inspirals

Abstract : The latest results will be presented on high-precision comparisons between self-force/black hole perturbation theory and post-Newtonian theory for eccentric binaries. In some cases new exact terms are found out to 7PN order. Recent results go beyond energy fluxes at infinity and now include angular momentum flux at infinity and both energy and angular momentum fluxes at the horizon of the primary. Some discussion of extending calculations to Kerr will be made.
