Equations of motion for compact binary systems in general relativity: Do they depend on the bodies' internal structure at the third post-Newtonian order?
Clifford M. Will
We present and discuss the possibility, derived from work carried out 20 years ago, that the equations of motion for compact binary neutron stars at the third post-Newtonian (3PN)…
Compact binary systems in Einstein-Ãther gravity. II. Radiation reaction to 2.5 post-Newtonian order
Fatemeh Taherasghari, Clifford M. Will
We obtain the equations of motion for compact binary systems (black holes or neutron stars) in an alternative theory of gravity known as Einstein-AEther theory, which supplements t…
Higher-order effects in the dynamics of hierarchical triple systems. III. Astrophysical implications of second-order and dotriacontapole terms
Landen Conway, Clifford M. Will
We study the long-term evolution of selected hierarchical triple systems in Newtonian gravity. We employ analytic equations derived in Paper II for the evolution of orbit-averaged…
Higher-order effects in the dynamics of hierarchical triple systems. II. Second-order and dotriacontapole-order effects
Landen Conway, Clifford M. Will
We analyze the long-term evolution of hierarchical triple systems in Newtonian gravity to second order in the quadrupolar perturbation parameter, and to sixth order in , t…
