The Black Hole Perturbation Toolkit brings together software and data relating to black hole perturbation theory. http://bhptoolkit.org.

An extensive list of papers that have used the BHPToolkit can be found here: https://bhptoolkit.org/users.html
The third was: "Hybrid waveform model for asymmetric spinning binaries: Self-force meets post-Newtonian theory" by Loïc Honet, Adam Pound, Geoffrey Compère, arxiv.org/abs/2510.16114

The second is "Post-adiabatic self-force waveforms: slowly spinning primary and precessing secondary" by Josh Mathews, Barry Wardell, Adam Pound, Niels Warburton, arxiv.org/abs/2510.16113
