Published by the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), Potsdam,...Analytic Black Hole Perturbation Approach to Gravitational Radiation- November 21, 2003 We review the analytic methods used to perform the post-Newtonian expansion of gravitational waves induced by a particle orbiting a massive, compact body, based on black hole perturbation theory. There exist two different methods of performing the post-Newtonian expansion. Both are based on the Teukolsky equation. In one method, the Teukolsky equation is transformed into a Regge-Wheeler type equation that reduces to the standard Klein-Gordon equation in the flat-space limit, while in the other..http://www.livingreviews.org/lrr-2003-6 |
