Can the post-Newtonian gravitational waveform of an inspiraling binary be improved by solving the energy balance equation numerically?
Wolfgang Tichy, Eanna E. Flanagan, Eric Poisson
The detection of gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries using matched filtering depends crucially on the availability of accurate template waveforms. We determine wh…
An introduction to the Lorentz-Dirac equation
Eric Poisson
These notes provide two derivations of the Lorentz-Dirac equation. The first is patterned after Landau and Lifshitz and is based on the observation that the half-retarded minus hal…
Gravitational waves from eccentric compact binaries: Reduction in signal-to-noise ratio due to nonoptimal signal processing
Karl Martel, Eric Poisson
Inspiraling compact binaries have been identified as one of the most promising sources of gravitational waves for interferometric detectors. Most of these binaries are expected to…
Radiative falloff in black-hole spacetimes
William G. Laarakkers, Eric Poisson
This two-part contribution to the Proceedings of the Eighth Canadian Conference on General Relativity and Relativistic Astrophysics is devoted to the evolution of a massless scalar…
Radiative falloff in Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime
Patrick Brady, Chris Chambers, William Laarakkers +1
We consider the time evolution of a scalar field propagating in Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime. At early times, the field behaves as if it were in pure Schwarzschild spacetime;…
Gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries: Validity of the stationary-phase approximation to the Fourier transform
Serge Droz, Daniel J. Knapp, Eric Poisson +1
We prove that the oft-used stationary-phase method gives a very accurate expression for the Fourier transform of the gravitational-wave signal produced by an inspiraling compact bi…
