Post-Newtonian approximations
نویسنده
چکیده
After a very basic introduction about the geometric view of gravitation, we deal with Newtonian and post-Newtonian approximations giving an overview of the parametrized post-Newtonian formalism. In the final part, we focus on the classical experimental tests. This is a bibliographic work in which an effort has been made to explore the historical timeline and motivation, managing the original references.

Post-newtonian Approximations and Equations of Motion of General Relativity
A post-Newtonian approximation scheme for general relativity is defined using the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formalism. The scheme is applied to perfect fluids and point-mass systems. The two-body point-mass Hamiltonian is given explicitly up to the post2.5-Newtonian order.
متن کاملPost{newtonian Cosmological Dynamics
The non{linear dynamics of self{gravitating collisionless matter with vanishing vorticity is studied in a general relativistic framework, using synchronous and comoving (i.e. Lagrangian) coordinates. Writing the equations in terms of the metric tensor of the spatial sections orthogonal to the uid ow allows an unambiguous expansion in inverse powers of the speed of light. The Newtonian and post{...
متن کاملGravitational Radiation from Post-Newtonian Sources and Inspiralling Compact Binaries
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 observa...
متن کاملPost-newtonian Approximations, Compact Binaries, and Strong-field Tests of Gravity
This is an extended summary of the two parallel sessions held at MG11: PPN1 “Strong Gravity and Binaries” (chaired by L.B. and L.G.) and PPN2 “Post-Newtonian Dynamics in Binary Objects” (chaired by G.S.). The aims and contents of these sessions were close to each other and overlapping. It is natural to review both sessions in one joint contribution to the MG11 Proceedings. The summary places th...
