The instantaneous contributions to the third post-Newtonian (3PN) gravitational wave luminosity from the inspiral phase of a binary system of compact objects moving in a quasi-elliptical orbit is computed using the multipolar post-Minkowskian wave generation formalism. The necessary inputs for this calculation include the 3PN accurate mass quadrupole moment for general orbits and the mass octupole and current quadrupole moments at 2PN. Using the recently obtained 3PN quasi-Keplerian…

Tail effects in the third post-Newtonian gravitational wave energy flux of compact binaries in quasi-elliptical orbits

The far-zone flux of energy contains hereditary (tail) contr ibutions that depend on the entire past history of the source. Using the multipolar post-Minkowskian wave generation formalism, we propose…

Next-to-leading tail-induced spin–orbit effects in the gravitational radiation flux of compact binaries

The imprint of nonlinearities in the propagation of gravitational waves—the tail effect—is responsible for new spin contributions to the energy flux and orbital phasing of spinning black hole…

Spin–orbit precession for eccentric black hole binaries at first order in the mass ratio

We consider spin–orbit (‘geodetic’) precession for a compact binary in strong-field gravity. Specifically, we compute ψ, the ratio of the accumulated spin-precession and orbital angles over one…

We introduce a new kludge scheme to model the dynamics of generic extreme mass-ratio inspirals (stellar compact objects spiraling into a spinning supermassive black hole) and to produce the…

TLDR
Three previously introduced ambiguity parameters, coming from the Hadamard self-field regularization of the 3PN source-type mass quadrupole moment, are consistently determined by means of dimensional regularization, and proved to have the values xi=-9871/9240, kappa=0, and zeta=-7/33.
