Post-Newtonian Roche-Lobe-Overflow Prescription for Compact Binary Mass Transfer and the Corresponding Gravitational Waveforms

Shuai Zhang, Jie Yang, Zi-Han Zhang +1

The paper derives a first post-Newtonian Roche potential and mass‑transfer prescription for compact binary systems, incorporates the resulting corrections into the binary dynamics…
