Abstract: (Springer)
The radiative terms of the metric are computed to the order in which radiation effects appear for the first time in the equation of motion. The expression for the gravitational radiation reaction force, appearing as a perturbation of the post-post-Newtonian equation of motion, is determined. This leads to a formula for the rate of energy loss of the system which is equivalent to the formula derived by Chandrasekhar and Esposito. For quasiperiodic motions the formula reduces to the classical Einstein formula for the gravitational quadrupole radiation.- general relativity
