- 2. Dynamics beyond acoustic timescale
Gravitational radiation reaction
(Blanchet, Damour, Schafer 90)
hij = − 4G 5c5 d3IT T
ij
dt3
amplification factor to control the radiation reaction timescale
Φ(RR) = 1 2(ψ + hijxjiΦ) ψ = 4πhijxjiρ
Quadrupole radiation metric Gravitational radiation reaction potential
(includes 2.5PN term)
- Timescale which cannot be reached by GR hydrodynamics
- Instability driven by gravitational radiation
Need to separate the hydrodynamics and the radiation term Need to impose gravitational waves
“Newton gravity + gravitaional radiation reaction” are at least necessary
