چکیده

The equations of motion of compact binary systems have been derived in the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation of general relativity. The current level of accuracy is 3.5PN order. The conservative part of the equations of motion (neglecting the radiation reaction damping terms) is deducible from a generalized Lagrangian in harmonic coordinates, or equivalently from an ordinary Hamiltonian in ADM coordinates. As an application we investigate the problem of the dynamical stability of circular binary orbits against gravitational perturbations up to the 3PN order. We find that there is no innermost stable circular orbit or ISCO at the 3PN order for equal masses. Résumé Les équations du mouvement d’un système binaire d’objets compacts ont étées calculées dans l’approximation post-newtonienne (PN) de la relativité générale. Le niveau d’approximation atteint l’ordre 3.5PN. La partie conservative des équations du mouvement (obtenue en négligeant les termes de freinage de rayonnement) se déduit d’un lagrangien généralisé en coordonnées harmoniques, et, de façon équivalente, d’un hamiltonien ordinaire en coordonnées ADM. Comme application nous étudions le problème de la stabilité dynamique, vis-à-vis des perturbations gravitationnelles, des orbites binaires circulaires à l’ordre 3PN. Nous trouvons qu’il n’y a pas de dernière orbite stable circulaire ou ISCO à l’ordre 3PN pour des masses égales.

General relativistic hydrodynamic flows around a static compact object in final stages of accretion flow

Dynamics of stationary axisymmetric configuration of the viscous accreting fluids surrounding a non-rotating compact object in final stages of accretion flow is presented here. For the special case of thin disk approximation, the relativistic fluid equations ignoring self-gravity of the disk are derived in Schwarzschild geometry. For two different state equations, two sets of self-consistent an...

5 A pr 2 00 7 Binary Systems as Test - beds of Gravity Theories ∗

We review the general relativistic theory of the motion, and of the timing, of binary systems containing compact objects (neutron stars or black holes). Then we indicate the various ways one can use binary pulsar data to test the strong-field and/or radiative aspects of General Relativity, and of general classes of alternative theories of relativistic gravity.

Observable Signatures of General Relativistic Dynamics in Compact Binaries

The effects of general relativity (GR) in astrophysical systems are often difficult to calculate, but they can have important consequences for observables. This thesis considers the impact of previously-ignored GR effects in two different types of compact binary systems. The first is the coalescence of massive black holes in high-redshift galaxies. The gravitational waves (GWs) from these syste...

Relativistic Lidov-kozai Resonance in Binaries

We consider the secular dynamics of a binary and a planet in terms of non-restricted, hierarchical three-body problem, including the general relativity corrections to the Newtonian gravity. We determine regions in the parameter space where the relativistic corrections may be important for the long-term dynamics. We try to constrain the inclinations of putative Jovian planets in recently announc...

Effects of shear and bulk viscosity on head-on collision of localized waves in high density compact stars

Head on collision of localized waves in cold and dense hadronic matter with and without shear and bulk viscosities is investigated. Non-relativistic dynamics of propagating waves is studied using the hydrodynamics description of the system and suitable equation of state. It will be shown that the localized waves are described by solutions of the Burgers equation. Simulations show that the propa...
