Coalescence of two spinning black holes: An effective one-body approach
We generalize to the case of spinning black holes a recently introduced ``effective one-body'' approach to the general relativistic dynamics of binary systems. We show how to approximately map the conservative part of the third post-Newtonian (3PN) dynamics of two spinning black holes of masses ${m}_{1},$ ${m}_{2}$ and spins ${\mathit{S}}_{1},$ …
