Compact binary systems in Einstein-Aether gravity: Direct integration of the relaxed field equations to 2.5 post-Newtonian order
Fatemeh Taherasghari, Clifford M. Will
The Einstein-Aether theory is an alternative theory of gravity in which the spacetime metric is supplemented by a long-range timelike vector field (the "aether" field). Here, for t…
Constraining a companion of the galactic center black hole, Sgr A*
Clifford M. Will, Smadar Naoz, Aurélien Hees +4
We use 23 years of astrometric and radial velocity data on the orbit of the star S0-2 to constrain a hypothetical intermediate-mass black hole orbiting the massive black hole Sgr A…
A Stability Timescale for Non-Hierarchical Three-Body Systems
Eric Zhang, Smadar Naoz, Clifford M. Will
The gravitational three-body problem is a fundamental problem in physics and has significant applications to astronomy. Three-body configurations are often considered stable as lon…
Modified geodesic equations of motion for compact bodies in alternative theories gravity
Fatemeh Taherasghari, Clifford M. Will
We derive exact, modified geodesic equations for a system of non-spinning, self-gravitating interacting bodies in a class of alternative theories of gravity to general relativity.…
Residual eccentricity of inspiralling orbits at the gravitational-wave detection threshold: Accurate estimates using post-Newtonian theory
Alexandria Tucker, Clifford M. Will
We use equations of motion containing gravitational radiation-reaction terms through 4.5 post-Newtonian order to calculate the late-time eccentricities of inspiraling binary system…
Higher-order effects in the dynamics of hierarchical triple systems. Quadrupole-squared terms
Clifford M. Will
We analyze the secular evolution of hierarchical triple systems to second-order in the quadrupolar perturbation induced on the inner binary by the distant third body. The Newtonian…
