Tidal Effects in the Post-Minkowskian Expansion
Tidal Effects in the Post-Minkowskian Expansion
Tools from scattering amplitudes and effective field theory have recently been repurposed to derive state-of-the-art results for the black hole binary inspiral in the post-Minkowskian expansion. In the present Letter, we extend this approach to include the tidal effects of mass and current quadrupoles on the conservative dynamics of nonspinning …
