要旨:
We calculate the gravitational waveform for spinning, precessing compact
binary inspirals through second post-Newtonian order in the amplitude. When
spins are collinear with the orbital angular momentum and the orbits are
quasi-circular, we further provide explicit expressions for the
gravitational-wave polarizations and the decomposition into spin-weighted
spherical-harmonic modes. Knowledge of the second post-Newtonian spin terms in
the waveform could be used to improve the physical content of analytical
templates for data analysis of compact binary inspirals and for more accurate
comparisons with numerical-relativity simulations.
