Multipolar invariants and the eccentricity enhancement function parametrization of gravitational radiation
Multipolar invariants and the eccentricity enhancement function parametrization of gravitational radiation
Gravitational radiation can be decomposed as an infinite sum of radiative multipole moments, which parametrize the waveform at infinity. The multipolar-post-Minkowskian formalism provides a connection between these multipoles and the source multipole moments, known as explicit integrals over the matter source. The gravitational wave energy, angular momentum and linear momentum …
