Gravitational Radiation from Post-Newtonian Sources and Inspiralling Compact Binaries

Abstract: The article reviews the current status of a theoretical approach to the problem of the emission of gravitational waves by isolated systems in the context of general relativity. Part A of the article deals with general post-Newtonian sources. The exterior field of the source is investigated by means of a combination of analytic post-Minkowskian and multipolar approximations. The physical observables in the far-zone of the source are described by a specific set of radiative multipole moments. By matching the ext… Show more

“…As is expected, all propagation effects, such as the backscattering (or tails) of GWs off the metric of the secondary SMBH, occur beyond Newtonian (leading) order in post-Newtonian theory [36], and can be safely neglected here. The presence of an external source, however, does introduce non-negligible modifications to the generation of GWs.…”

“…The inspiraling phase of a binary black-hole (BBH) prior to merger as well as the ringdown phase after the merger can be modeled accurately by the approximate post-Newtonian [11] and perturbation methods [12], respectively. In order to simulate the late inspiral and merger of a BBH, however, numerical methods are required to solve the fully non-linear Einstein equations.…”
