Gravitational waveforms from self-force calculations |
|
Abstract |
Now that the capability is finally being developed for using self-force calculations to modify the inspiral process, it is time to begin thinking about the gravitational waves that a modified orbit would develop. While there may be reasons to be interested in tens or hundreds of thousands of orbits, it is highly unlikely that numerical evolution alone will provide waveforms of the requisite duration. Rather, a combination of numerical and semi-analytical techniques might be used. Foremost among these would be the possibility to compare, and even modify, a post-Newtonian description with the detailed results of numerical evolution. This opportunity already exists for full numerical relativity. We discuss what the requirements would be for similar progress with EMRI calculations. |
