Gravitational Waves and Dynamics of Compact Binary Systems
نویسنده
چکیده
Part A of this article is devoted to the general investigation of the gravitationalwave emission by post-Newtonian sources. We show how the radiation field far from the source, as well as its near-zone inner gravitational field, can (in principle) be calculated in terms of the matter stress-energy tensor up to any order in the post-Newtonian expansion. Part B presents some recent applications to the problems of the dynamics and gravitational-wave flux of compact binary systems. The precision reached in these developments corresponds to the third post-Newtonian approximation.

Detecting compact binary coalescences with seedless clustering
Compact binary coalescences are a promising source of gravitational waves for second-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detectors. Although matched filtering is the optimal search method for well-modeled systems, alternative detection strategies can be used to guard against theoretical errors (e.g., involving new physics and/or assumptions about spin or eccentricity) while providing ...
متن کاملSpin 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...
متن کاملSearches for Gravitational Waves from Binary Neutron Stars: A Review
A new generation of observatories is looking for gravitational waves. These waves, emitted by highly relativistic systems, will open a new window for observation of the cosmos when they are detected. Among the most promising sources of gravitational waves for these observatories are compact binaries in the final minutes before coalescence. In this article, we review in brief interferometric sea...

متن کاملExpected masses of merging compact object binaries observed in gravitational waves
We use the well tested StarTrack binary population synthesis code to examine the properties of the population of compact object binaries. We calculate the distribution of masses and mass ratios taking into account weights introduced by observability in gravitational waves during inspiral. We find that in the observability weighted distribution of double neutron star binaries there are two peaks...
