Post-Newtonian Gravitational Radiation
Let us declare that the most important devoir of any physical theory is to draw firm predictions for the outcome of laboratory experiments and astronomical observations. Unfortunately, the devoir is quite difficult to fulfill in the case of general relativity, essentially because of the complexity of the Einstein field equations, to which only few exact solutions are known. For instance, it is ...
متن کاملGravitational radiation from compact binary systems: Gravitational waveforms and energy loss to second post-Newtonian order.
We derive the gravitational waveform and gravitational-wave energy flux generated by a binary star system of compact objects (neutron stars or black holes), accurate through second post-Newtonian order (O[(v/c)4] ∼ O[(Gm/rc)]) beyond the lowest-order quadrupole approximation. We cast the Einstein equations into the form of a flat-spacetime wave equation together with a harmonic gauge condition,...
متن کاملThe Newtonian Potential in Gravitational Cohomology
We examine the Newtonian potential in gravitational cohomology. This is given by a symmetric, two-index tensor field, which satisfies the wave equation in empty space. Furthermore, the associated gravitational field strength, obtained by applying the coboundary operator to the potential, is constructed for the case of a stationary point mass and shown to give the classical result.
متن کاملGravitational lensing in modified Newtonian dynamics
Modified Newtonian dynamics (MOND) is an alternative theory of gravity that aims to explain large-scale dynamics without recourse to any form of dark matter. However the theory is incomplete, lacking a relativistic counterpart, and so makes no definite predictions about gravitational lensing. The most obvious form that MONDian lensing might take is that photons experience twice the deflection o...
متن کاملGravitational lensing and modified Newtonian dynamics
Gravitational lensing is most often used as a tool to investigate the distribution of (dark) matter in the universe, but, if the mass distribution is known a priori, it becomes, at least in principle, a powerful probe of gravity itself. Lensing observations are a more powerful tool than dynamical measurements because they allow measurements of the gravitational field far away from visible matte...
