Effective one body approach to the dynamics of two spinning black holes with next-to-leading order spin-orbit coupling
Thibault Damour, Piotr Jaranowski, Gerhard Schäfer
Using a recent, novel Hamiltonian formulation of the gravitational interaction of spinning binaries, we extend the Effective One Body (EOB) description of the dynamics of two spinn…
Accurate Effective-One-Body waveforms of inspiralling and coalescing black-hole binaries
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Mark Hannam +2
The Effective-One-Body (EOB) formalism contains several flexibility parameters, notably , $\vp$ and $\a$. We show here how to jointly constrain the values of these parameters…
Introductory lectures on the Effective One Body formalism
Thibault Damour
The Effective One Body (EOB) formalism is an analytical approach which aims at providing an accurate description of the motion and radiation of coalescing binary black holes. We pr…
Comparing Effective-One-Body gravitational waveforms to accurate numerical data
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar
We continue the program of constructing, within the Effective-One-Body (EOB) approach, high accuracy, faithful analytic waveforms describing the gravitational wave signal emitted b…
Faithful Effective-One-Body waveforms of equal-mass coalescing black-hole binaries
Thibault Damour, Alessandro Nagar, Ernst Nils Dorband +2
We continue the program of constructing, within the Effective-One-Body (EOB) approach, high-accuracy analytic waveforms describing the signal emitted by inspiralling and coalescing…
Hamiltonian of two spinning compact bodies with next-to-leading order gravitational spin-orbit coupling
Thibault Damour, Piotr Jaranowski, Gerhard Schäfer
A Hamiltonian formulation is given for the gravitational dynamics of two spinning compact bodies to next-to-leading order ( and ) in the spin-orbit interaction. We…
