A plane symmetric Bianchi-I model is explored in $f(R,T)$ gravity, where $R$ is the Ricci scalar and $T$ is the trace of energy-momentum tensor. The solutions are obtained with the consideration of a specific Hubble parameter which yields a…
The two-body problem under the influence of both dark energy and post-Newtonian modifications is studied. In this unified framework, we demonstrate that dark energy plays the role of a critical period with $T_{\Lambda} = 2\pi/c…
Radiation-reaction forces originating from the emission of gravitational waves (GW) bring binaries to close proximity and are thus responsible for virtually all the mergers that we can observe in GW interferometers. We show that there…
