Gravitational Wave Signatures from Periodic Orbits around a Non--commutative Schwarzschild Black Hole

Abstract: In this work, we investigate massive particle motion and the gravitational wave emission generated by periodic trajectories around a non--commutative \textit{Schwarzschild} black hole sourced by a Lorentzian matter distribution. We analyze the effective potential, the marginally bound orbit, and the innermost stable circular orbit, showing that non--commutative corrections shift these characteristic orbits toward smaller radii and reduce their corresponding angular momenta. The allowed region in the $(E, L)$ plane is also displaced toward lower values, favoring more tightly bound configurations. Periodic trajectories are classified through the rational parameter $q$, which relates the radial and azimuthal frequencies. For a fixed orbital topology, increasing the non--commutative parameter lowers the energy required to produce the orbit and results in more compact zoom--whirl configurations. Small deviations from the periodic energies are also shown to generate precessional drift. From the periastron advance of the S2 star around Sgr~A$^*$, we obtain the preliminary bound $Θ/M^{2}<0.014$. Finally, using the adiabatic and numerical kludge approximations, we compute the gravitational wave polarizations and find phase shifts and an overall enhancement of the amplitude.
