Self-interaction spin effects in inspiralling compact binaries

Abstract: (arXiv)
Gravitational radiation drives compact binaries through an inspiral phase towards a final coalescence. For binaries with\textit{spin, mass quadrupole and magnetic dipole moments}, various contributions add to this process, which is characterized by the rate of increase of the gravitational wave frequency and the accumulated number of gravitational wave cycles. We present here all contributions to and up to the second post-Newtonian order. Among them we give for the first time the contributions due to the \textit{self-interaction of individual spins}. These are shown to be commensurable with the proper spin-spin contributions for the recently discovered J0737-3039 double pulsar, and argued to represent the first corrections to the radiation reaction in the Lense-Thirring approach.- 04.25.Nx
