  • approximation solution to GR
  • applies to weak gravitational fields and slow motion
  • relies on perturbative techniques

⊲ we call nPN order the O 1 c2n

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 ?

Self-field divergences

Point-particle approximation U (x, t) = Gm1 |x − y1(t)| + Gm2 |x − y2(t)|

  • U (y1(t), t) = ?

Treatment of divergences

|x − y1|d−2 + Gm2 |x − y2|d−2

  • calculations for large negative R(d) to kill self-terms

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

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

  • more polarization modes
