Post-newtonian Approximations and Equations of Motion of General Relativity
نویسنده
چکیده
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.

On the two-body problem in general relativity
We consider the two-body problem in post-Newtonian approximations of general relativity. We report the recent results concerning the equations of motion, and the associated Lagrangian formulation, of compact binary systems, at the third post-Newtonian order (∼ 1/c beyond the Newtonian acceleration). These equations are necessary when constructing the theoretical templates for searching and anal...
متن کاملThe Post-Newtonian Approximation for Relativistic Compact Binaries
We discuss various aspects of the post-Newtonian approximation in general relativity. After presenting the foundation based on the Newtonian limit, we show a method to derive post-Newtonian equations of motion for relativistic compact binaries based on a surface integral approach and the strong field point particle limit. As an application we derive third post-Newtonian equations of motion for ...

p { margin-bottom: 0.1in; direction: ltr; line-height: 120%; text-align: left; }a:link { } In this paper, the evolution of accretion disks in the post-Newtonian limit has been investigated. These disks are formed around gravitational compact objects such as black holes, neutron stars, or white dwarfs. Although most analytical researches have been conducted in this context in the framework o...
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 کاملParameterized Post-Newtonian Theory of Reference Frames, Multipolar Expansions and Equations of Motion in the N-body Problem
Post-Newtonian relativistic theory of astronomical reference frames based on Einstein’s general theory of relativity was adopted by General Assembly of the International Astronomical Union in 2000. This theory is extended in the present paper by taking into account all relativistic effects caused by the presumable existence of a scalar field and parameterized by two parameters, β and γ, of the ...
