Abstract

We derive the leading spin-dependent gravitational tail memory, which appears at the second post-Minkowskian (2 PM) order and behaves as u2u^{-2} for large retarded time uu. This result follows from classical soft graviton theorem at order ωlnω\omega\ln\omega as a low-frequency expansion of gravitational waveform with frequency ω\omega. First, we conjecture the result from the classical limit of quantum soft graviton theorem up to sub-subleading order in soft expansion and then we derive it for a classical scattering process without any reference to the soft graviton theorem. The final result of the gravitational waveform in the direct derivation completely agrees with the conjectured result.
