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…
String theory, gravity and experiment
Thibault Damour, Marc Lilley
The aim of these lectures is to give an introduction to several topics which lie at the intersection of string theory, gravity theory and gravity phenomenology. One successively re…
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…
