Post-Newtonian gravitational radiation and equations of motion via direct integration of the relaxed Einstein equations: Foundations

Post-Newtonian gravitational radiation and equations of motion via direct integration of the relaxed Einstein equations: Foundations

We present a self-contained framework called Direct Integration of the Relaxed Einstein Equations (DIRE) for calculating equations of motion and gravitational radiation emission for isolated gravitating systems based on the post-Newtonian approximation. We cast the Einstein equations into their ``relaxed'' form of a flat-spacetime wave equation together with a harmonic …
