Gravitational waves from binary systems in circular orbits: does the post-Newtonian expansion converge?
Gravitational waves from binary systems in circular orbits: does the post-Newtonian expansion converge?
Gravitational radiation can be expressed in terms of an infinite series of radiative, symmetric trace-free (STF) multipole moments which can be connected to the behaviour of the source. We consider a truncated model for gravitational radiation from binary systems in which each STF mass and current moment of order l …
