Radiation reaction in the 2.5PN waveform from inspiralling binaries in circular orbits

Kidder, Lawrence E., Blanchet, Luc, Iyer, Bala R.

Understand

In this Comment we compute the contributions of the radiation reaction force in the 2.5 post-Newtonian (PN) gravitational wave polarizations for compact binaries in circular orbits.

  • (i) We point out and correct an inconsistency in the derivation of Arun, Blanchet, Iyer, and Qusailah.
  • (ii) We prove that all contributions from radiation reaction in the 2.5PN waveform are actually negligible since they can be absorbed into a modification of the orbital phase at the 5PN order.
