Gravitational radiation reaction affects the dynamics of gravitationally bound binary systems. Here we focus on the leading "tail" term which modifies binary dynamics at fourth post-Newtonian order, as first computed by Blanchet and Damour.…
We complete the calculation of conservative two-body scattering dynamics at fourth post-Minkowskian order, i.e. $O(G^4)$ and all orders in velocity, including radiative contributions corresponding to the tail effect in general relativity.…
We compute tail contributions to the conservative dynamics of a generic self-gravitating system, for every multipole order, of either electric and magnetic parity. Such contributions arise when gravitational radiation is backscattered by…
We derive the effective action governing the dynamics of a compact binary system when gravitational radiation is emitted by any mass or current multipole, scattered by the quasi-static field associated with the binary's angular momentum,…
We revisit several aspects of the interaction of self-gravitating, slowly varying sources with their own emitted radiation within the context of post-Newtonian approximation to General Relativity. We discuss and clarify the choice of…
We show that the correction to the gravitational binding energy for binary black holes due to the tail effect resembles the Lamb shift in the Hydrogen atom. In both cases a 'conservative' effect arises from interactions with 'radiation'…

The need for more and more accurate gravitational wave templates requires taking into account all possible contributions to the emission of gravitational radiation from a binary system. Therefore, working within a…
Gravitational waves contain tail effects which are due to the back-scattering of linear waves in the curved space-time geometry around the source. In this paper we improve the knowledge and accuracy of the two-body inspiraling…
We compute the conservative dynamics of non-spinning binaries at fourth Post-Minkowskian order in the large-eccentricity limit, including both potential and radiation-reaction tail effects. This is achieved by obtaining the scattering angle…
Gravitational-wave tails are due to the backscattering of linear waves onto the space-time curvature generated by the total mass of the matter source. The dominant tails correspond to quadratic non-linear interactions and arise at the…
In the context of the two-body problem in General Relativity, hereditary terms in the long range gravitational field depend on the history rather than the instantaneous state of the source at retarded time. We compute the next-to leading…
We study nonlinear evolutions of binary black hole mergers, uncovering power-law contributions generated by the long-range behaviour of the highly-curved dynamical spacetime. The result is achieved by exploiting the strong increase of the…
We consider the effects of quartic self-interactions on the dynamics of a binary system due to a (nearly) massless scalar field conformally coupled to matter. We investigate the deviations from General Relativity at the conservative level…
