Momentum recoil in the relativistic two-body problem: Higher-order tails
In the description of the relativistic two-body interaction, together with the effects of energy and angular momentum losses due to the emission of gravitational radiation, one has to take into account also the loss of linear momentum, which is responsible for the recoil of the center-of-mass of the system. We …
