All files require Mathematica and all, except ModeDecomposedGaugeVector.nb, require the tensor algebra package, xAct. This package is available at http://xact.es/. This dataset contains: Mathematica notebook containing the generic coordinate expansion of the Detweiler–Whiting scalar singular field through five total orders in distance from Eq. (2.105): ExpansionOfDetweilerWhitingSingularScalarField.nb. Mathematica notebook containing the second-order singular field in the highly regular gauge expressed in Fermi–Walker coordiantes from Eqs. (4.48)–(4.49): 2ndOrderGSFhSRhSS.nb. Mathematica notebook containing tensors that appear in the source of the second-order Teukolsky equation from Eq. (5.140): LorenzGaugeTeukolskySourceTerms.nb.
