The complete non-spinning effective-one-body metric at linear order in the mass ratio
Enrico Barausse, Alessandra Buonanno, Alexandre Le Tiec
Using the main result of a companion paper, in which the binding energy of a circular-orbit non-spinning compact binary system is computed at leading-order beyond the test-particle…
Gravitational Self-Force Correction to the Binding Energy of Compact Binary Systems
Alexandre Le Tiec, Enrico Barausse, Alessandra Buonanno
Using the first law of binary black-hole mechanics, we compute the binding energy E and total angular momentum J of two non-spinning compact objects moving on circular orbits with…
The First Law of Binary Black Hole Mechanics in General Relativity and Post-Newtonian Theory
Alexandre Le Tiec, Luc Blanchet, Bernard F. Whiting
First laws of black hole mechanics, or thermodynamics, come in a variety of different forms. In this paper, from a purely post-Newtonian (PN) analysis, we obtain a first law for bi…
Perturbative, Post-Newtonian, and General Relativistic Dynamics of Black Hole Binaries
Alexandre Le Tiec
The orbital motion of inspiralling and coalescing black hole binaries can be investigated using a variety of approximation schemes and numerical methods within general relativity:…
Periastron Advance in Black-Hole Binaries
Alexandre Le Tiec, Abdul H. Mroué, Leor Barack +4
The general relativistic (Mercury-type) periastron advance is calculated here for the first time with exquisite precision in full general relativity. We use accurate numerical rela…
