The so-called ``adiabatic elimination'' of fast decaying degrees of freedom in open quantum systems can be performed with a series expansion in the timescale separation. The associated computations are significantly more difficult when the remaining degrees of freedom (center manifold) follow fast unitary dynamics instead of just being slow. This paper highlights how a formulation with Sylvester's equation and with adjoint dynamics leads to systematic, explicit expressions at high orders for settings of physical interest.
