Dynamics of compact binaries |
Abstract _ |
The conservative orbital motion of spinless compact binaries will be solved analyticly up to the third post-Newtonian order. The gravitationally damped motion will be treated up to 3.5 post-Newtonian order. For special configurations in the spin-orbit and spin-spin couplings explicit orbital solutions will be presented. Estimates for innermost stable circular orbits and recoils are reported. Gravitational waveforms from various motions are presented including waveforms from binaries with extended components. |
