A new class of post-Newtonian approximants to binary dynamics. Standard adiabatic approximation to GW phasing of inspiral binary takes energy and flux truncated to same PN order In terms of dynamics equivalent to taking 0PN and 2.5PN terms in acceleration, and leaving out 1PN and 2PN

A new class of post-Newtonian approximants to binary dynamics • Standard adiabatic approximation to GW phasing of inspiral binary takes energy and flux truncated to same PN order • In terms of dynamics equivalent to taking 0PN and 2.5PN terms in acceleration, and leaving out 1PN and 2PN • Propose a new complete adiabatic approximation which at leading order uses 2PN energy P.Ajith, Bala R.
