Gravitational Radiation in Horava Gravity
arXiv:1105.5149 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.84.064004
Abstract
We study the radiation of gravitational waves by self-gravitating binary systems in the low-energy limit of Horava gravity. We find that the predictions for the energy-loss formula of General Relativity are modified already for Newtonian sources: the quadrupole contribution is altered, in part due to the different speed of propagation of the tensor modes; furthermore, there is a monopole contribution stemming from an extra scalar degree of freedom. A dipole contribution only appears at higher post-Newtonian order. We use these findings to constrain the low-energy action of Horava gravity by comparing them with the radiation damping observed for binary pulsars. Even if this comparison is not completely appropriate - since compact objects cannot be described within the post-Newtonian approximation - it represents an order of magnitude estimate. In the limit where the post-Newtonian metric coincides with that of General Relativity, our energy-loss formula provides the strongest constraints for Horava gravity at low-energies.
