Surfing the Gravitational WavesAnalytic Modelling of Gravitational Waves in General Relativity and Beyond\nAuthor(s): Tamanna Jain\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Springer International Publishing AG, Switzerland\nImprint: Springer International Publishing AG\nISBN-13: 9783031961793, 978-3031961793\nSynopsis\nThis book discusses the construction of analytical waveform models within the EOB formalism for a specific alternative theory of gravity, the so-called massless scalar-tensor theory. More specifically, authors describe the map of the dynamics of a binary system in scalar-tensor theory into the EOB formalism by building upon the PN expanded Lagrangian of the two-body problem at 3PN order. Authors discuss the generalization of the 2PN EOB Hamiltonian to 3PN order for the conservative part of the dynamics and then compute the scalar-tensor corrections to EOB potentials for generic orbits. Authors also compute the corrections in the EOB Hamiltonian due to tidal effects at 3PN order fo.
