Gravitational spin-orbit coupling in binary systems at the second post-Minkowskian approximation

Gravitational spin-orbit coupling in binary systems at the second post-Minkowskian approximation

We compute the rotations, during a scattering encounter, of the spins of two gravitationally interacting particles at second order in the gravitational constant (second post-Minkowskian order). Following a strategy introduced by us [D. Bini and T. Damour, Phys. Rev. D 96, 104038 (2017)], we transcribe our result into a correspondingly …
