چکیده
We examine the effects of spin-orbit and spin-spin coupling on the inspiral of a coalescing binary system of spinning compact objects and on the gravitational radiation emitted therefrom. Using a formalism developed by Blanchet, Damour, and Iyer, we calculate the contributions due to the spins of the bodies to the symmetric trace-free radiative multipole moments which are used to calculate the waveform, energy loss, and angular momentum loss from the inspiralling binary. Using equations of motion which include terms due to spin-orbit and spin-spin coupling, we evolve the orbit of a coalescing binary and use the orbit to calculate the emitted gravitational waveform. We find the spins of the bodies affect the waveform in several ways: 1) The spin terms contribute to the orbital decay of the binary, and thus to the accumulated Present address: Department of Physics and Astronomy, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois 60208. 1 phase of the gravitational waveform. 2) The spins cause the orbital plane to precess, which changes the orientation of the orbital plane with respect to an observer, thus causing the shape of the waveform to be modulated. 3) The spins contribute directly to the amplitude of the waveform. We discuss the size and importance of spin effects for the case of two coalescing neutron stars, and for the case of a neutron star orbiting a rapidly rotating 10M⊙ black hole. 04.25.Nx, 04.30.-w, 04.80.Nn, 97.80.Fk Typeset using REVTEX 2

Spin induced multipole moments for the gravitational wave amplitude from binary inspirals to 2.5 Post-Newtonian order
Direct detection of gravitational waves (GWs) is an international experimental effort which includes the earth-based LIGO/Virgo detectors [1] and the future space-based mission eLISA [2]. Among the most promising sources for these detectors are coalescing compact binary systems, whose dynamics can be studied using Post-Newtonian methods for the inspiral phase and numerical simulations for the m...

This article is intended to provide a pedagogical account of issues related to, and recent work on, grav-itational waves from coalescing compact binaries (composed of neutron stars and/or black holes). These waves are the most promising for kilometer-size interferometric detectors such as LIGO and VIRGO. Topics discussed include: interferometric detectors and their noise; coalescing compact bin...
متن کاملGravitational field and equations of motion of spinning compact binaries to 2.5 post-Newtonian order
We derive spin-orbit coupling effects on the gravitational field and equations of motion of compact binaries in the 2.5 post-Newtonian approximation to general relativity, one PN order beyond where spin effects first appear. Our method is based on that of Blanchet, Faye, and Ponsot, who use a postNewtonian metric valid for general (continuous) fluids and represent pointlike compact objects with...
متن کاملPost-Newtonian Expansion of the Ingoing-Wave Regge-Wheeler Function
We present a method of post-Newtonian expansion to solve the homogeneous Regge-Wheeler equation which describes gravitational waves on the Schwarzschild spacetime. The advantage of our method is that it allows a systematic iterative analysis of the solution. Then we obtain the Regge-Wheeler function which is purely ingoing at the horizon in closed analytic form, with accuracy required to determ...
متن کاملDegeneracies in Sky Localisation Determination from a Spinning Coalescing Binary through Gravitational Wave Observations: a Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo Analysis for two Detectors
Gravitational-wave signals from inspirals of binary compact objects (black holes and neutron stars) are primary targets of the ongoing searches by groundbased gravitational-wave interferometers (LIGO, Virgo, and GEO-600). We present parameter-estimation simulations for inspirals of black-hole–neutron-star binaries using Markov-chain Monte-Carlo methods. As a specific example of the power of the...
