Gravitational waves emitted by inspiralling compact binaries HAS KFKI Research Institute for Particle and Nuclear Physics Budapest, Hungary János Majár 21 -26 May, 2006 Cascina, Italy
Projectors and polarization states The projectors and the polarization states using the N, p, q triad
Compact binaries and the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation Small velocity (neglect ultra-relativistic effects) Small gravitational potential (neglect extreme gravitational effects) Spin is treated as a PN perturbation
The transverse-traceless tenzor in the PN approximation Newtonian or quadrupole term Higher order PN corrections Spin-Orbit corrections
Description of the motion and the method in the Lense-Thirring picture Description of the motion and the method in the finite mass case Description of the motion and the method in the general case Explicit time dependence – numerical integration Polarization states in the Lense-Thirring picture, effects of eccentricity and spin Polarization states in the finite mass case, effects of eccentricity and spin, extreme mass ratio limit Polarization states in the general case, effects of eccentricity and spins, extreme mass ratio limit, one spin limit, lowest order spin-spin contributions Innermost Stable Circular Orbit case Research plan
