Wave Zone Physics: Radiation reaction Loss of energy at order c-5 implies that the dynamics of a system cannot be conservative at 2.5 PN order
There must be a radiation reaction force F that dissipates energy according to
X
A
FA · vA =dE
dt
To find this force, we return to the near-zone and iterate the relaxed Einstein equations 3 times to find the metric to 2.5 PN order
That metric is inserted into the equations of motion r�T↵� = 0
There are Newtonian, 1 PN, 2 PN, 2.5 PN, …. terms (no 1.5 PN!) Happily, to find the leading 2.5 PN contributions, it is not necessary to calculate the 2 PN terms explicitly (though that has been done)
Wave Zone Physics: Radiation reaction Illustration: expand h00 in the near zone: Newtonian plus
corrections up to 2.5 PN order within τ00
No 0.5 PN term: conservation of M
1 PN correction d2X/dt2
Pure function of time – a coordinate effect

Radiation reaction causes 2-body orbits to inspiral and circularize
Inserting aRR into the Lagrange planetary equation as a disturbing force and integrating over an orbit
q The Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar will circularize and merge within 300 Myr; the double pulsar within 85 Myr
q This is short compared to the age of galaxies (5 – 10 Gyr) q There must be NS-NS binaries merging today (possibly
even NS-BH and BH-BH binaries) q The inspiral of compact binaries is a leading potential
