Gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binaries: Second post-Newtonian waveforms as search templates II

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2016-08-25 v1

Abstract

We present further evidence that the second post-Newtonian (pN) approximation to the gravitational waves emitted by inspiraling compact binaries is sufficient for the detection of these systems. This is established by comparing the 2-pN wave forms to signals calculated from black hole perturbation theory. Results are presented for different detector noise curves. We also discuss the validity of this type of analysis.
