Tools from scattering amplitudes and effective field theory have recently been repurposed to derive state-of-the-art results for the black hole binary inspiral in the post-Minkowskian expansion. In the present work we extend this approach…

Eccentricity of binary systems is not a gauge invariant quantity, but has an important impact on the observed gravitational wave signal of such systems, generating power in all possible harmonics of the orbital period. We here clarify the…

The post-Newtonian gravitoelectric secular rate of the mean anomaly M is worked out for a two-body system in the framework of the General Theory of Relativity. The possibility of using such an effect, which is different from the well known…
