Radiated momentum and radiation reaction in gravitational two-body scattering including time-asymmetric effects
Radiated momentum and radiation reaction in gravitational two-body scattering including time-asymmetric effects
We compute to high post-Newtonian accuracy the 4-momentum (linear momentum and energy), radiated as gravitational waves in a two-body system undergoing gravitational scattering. We include, for the first time, all the relevant time-asymmetric effects that arise when consistently going three post-Newtonian orders beyond the leading post-Newtonian order. We find that …
