Gravitational radiation reaction

چکیده
We give a short personally-biased review on the recent progress in our understanding of gravitational radiation reaction acting on a point particle orbiting a black hole. The main motivation of this study is to obtain sufficiently precise gravitational waveforms from inspiraling binary compact stars with a large mass ratio. For this purpose, various new concepts and techniques have been developed to compute the orbital evolution taking into account the gravitational self-force. Combining these ideas with a few supplementary new ideas, we try to outline a path to our goal here.

Gravitational, Dilatonic and Axionic Radiative Damping of Cosmic Strings Typeset Using Revt E X 1
We study the radiation reaction on cosmic strings due to the emission of dila-tonic, gravitational and axionic waves. After discussing the renormalization of the string tension induced by time-symmetric self-interactions (thereby correcting errors in the literature), we concentrate on the nite radiation damping force associated with the half-retarded minus half-advanced \reactive" elds. We revi...
متن کاملOn the gravitational, dilatonic and axionic radiative damping of cosmic strings
We study the radiation reaction on cosmic strings due to the emission of dilatonic, gravitational and axionic waves. After verifying the (on average) conservative nature of the time-symmetric self-interactions, we concentrate on the finite radiation damping force associated with the half-retarded minus half-advanced “reactive” fields. We revisit a recent proposal of using a “local back reaction...

متن کاملGravitational radiation reaction and balance equations to post-Newtonian order
Gravitational radiation reaction forces and balance equations for energy and momenta are investigated to 3/2 post-Newtonian (1.5PN) order beyond the quadrupole approximation, corresponding to the 4PN order in the equations of motion of an isolated system. By matching a post-Newtonian solution for the gravitational field inside the system to a post-Minkowskian solution (obtained in a previous wo...
