Effective one-body approach to general relativistic two-body dynamics

We map the general relativistic two-body problem onto that of a test particle\nmoving in an effective external metric. This effective-one-body approach\ndefines, in a non-pertur...

Higher-order spin effects in the amplitude and phase of gravitational waveforms emitted by inspiraling compact binaries: Ready-to-use gravitational waveforms

We provide ready-to-use time-domain gravitational waveforms for spinning compact binaries with precession effects through 1.5 post-Newtonian (PN) order in amplitude, and compute...

Erratum: Higher-order spin effects in the amplitude and phase of gravitational waveforms emitted by inspiraling compact binaries: Ready-to-use gravitational waveforms [Phys. Rev. D<b>79</b>, 104023 (2009)]

We provide ready-to-use time-domain gravitational waveforms for spinning compact binaries with precession effects through 1.5PN order in amplitude and compute their mode decompo...
