Reaction force of gravitational radiation in an effective-one-body theory based on the post-Minkowskian approximation

Abstract Effective-one-body (EOB) theory based on the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation presented by Buonanno and Damour plays an important role in the analysis of gravitational wave signals. Based on the post-Minkowskian (PM) approximation, Damour introduced another novel EOB theory which will lead...

Description
Summary:Abstract Effective-one-body (EOB) theory based on the post-Newtonian (PN) approximation presented by Buonanno and Damour plays an important role in the analysis of gravitational wave signals. Based on the post-Minkowskian (PM) approximation, Damour introduced another novel EOB theory which will lead to theoretically improved versions of the EOB conservative dynamics and might be useful in the upcoming era of high signal-to-noise-ratio gravitational-wave observations. Using the 2PM effective metric obtained by us recently, in this paper we study the radiation reaction force experienced by the particle with the help of the energy-loss-rate, which is an important step to construct the EOB theory based on the PM approximation.
