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…
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…
Compact binary inspiral: Nature is perfectly happy with a circle
Clifford M. Will
It is standard lore that gravitational radiation reaction circularizes the orbits of inspiralling binary systems. But in recent papers, Loutrel et al. have argued that at late time…
Pericenter advance in general relativity: Comparison of approaches at high post-Newtonian orders
Alexandria Tucker, Clifford M. Will
The advance of the pericenter of the orbit of a test body around a massive body in general relativity can be calculated in a number of ways. In one method, one studies the geodesic…
Solar system vs. gravitational-wave bounds on the graviton mass
Clifford M. Will
TThe detection of gravitational waves from merging binary black holes has led to a bound on the mass of a hypothetical massive carrier of the gravitational interaction predicted by…
