Problems to solve
Motion what are the conservative equations of motion of the source including non-linear effects ? Propagation what is the propagation of gravitational waves from the source to the detector including non-linear effects ? Generation what is the gravitational radiation field generated in a detector far from the source ? Reaction what are the dissipative radiation forces inside the source as a reaction to the emission of gravitational waves ?

SLIDE 79 Full waveform templates
Phenomenological waveforms ⊲ indirect matching between NR and PN waveforms Effective one-body waveforms ⊲ mapping the two-body dynamics to an effective one-body dynamics
[Buonanno & Sathyaprakash 2015]
Both models can now describe :
- spinning binaries
- tidal effects for neutron stars
- gravitational self-force information for EMRIs

SLIDE 80 Last remarks
⊲ the convergence of the PN and PM series is not known ⊲ complicated and heavy calculations ⊲ for alternative theories of gravity
- model compact objects
- more parameters −
→ find a good perturbative schemes
