Effective-action model for dynamical scalarization beyond the adiabatic approximation

Mohammed Khalil, Raissa F. P. Mendes, Néstor Ortiz +1

In certain scalar-field extensions to general relativity, scalar charges can develop on compact objects in an inspiraling binary -- an effect known as dynamical scalarization. This…

Gravitational spin-orbit dynamics at the fifth-and-a-half post-Newtonian order

Mohammed Khalil

Accurate waveform models are crucial for gravitational-wave data analysis, and since spin has a significant effect on the binary dynamics, it is important to improve the spin descr…

Radiation-reaction force and multipolar waveforms for eccentric, spin-aligned binaries in the effective-one-body formalism

Mohammed Khalil, Alessandra Buonanno, Jan Steinhoff +1

While most binary inspirals are expected to have circularized before they enter the LIGO/Virgo frequency band, a small fraction of those binaries could have non-negligible orbital…
