We introduce a new methodology for deriving the conservative dynamics of gravitationally interacting binary systems. Our approach combines, in a novel way, several theoretical formalisms: post-Newtonian, post-Minkowskian,…

Using post-Newtonian equations of motion for fluid bodies that include radiation-reaction terms at 2.5 and 3.5 post-Newtonian (PN) order O[(v/c)^5] and O[(v/c)^7] beyond Newtonian order), we derive the equations of motion for binary systems…

The theory of the post-Newtonian (PN) planar circular restricted three-body problem is used for numerically investigating the orbital dynamics of a test particle (e.g., a comet, asteroid, meteor or spacecraft) in the planar Sun-Jupiter…

This work is based on the letter Phys. Lett. B, 865, 139484 (2025), where we developed the analytical expression of the coordinate time in terms of the eccentric anomaly at the second post-Newtonian order in General Relativity for a compact…

We study the Post-Newtonian approach implemented to the Einstein-Hilbert action adding the cosmological constant $\Lambda$ at 1PN order. We consider very small values of $\Lambda$ to derive the Lagrangian of a two body compact system at the…

We show that the introduction of two worldline parameters defines a different approach to computations in the effective field theory approach to the two-body problem in General Relativity and present some preliminary evidence for a…

The two full body problem concerns the dynamics of two spatially extended rigid bodies (e.g. rocky asteroids) subject to mutual gravitational interaction. In this note we deduce the Euler-Poincare and Hamiltonian equations of motion using…

The problem of a compact binary system whose components move on circular orbits is addressed using two different approximation techniques in general relativity. The post-Newtonian (PN) approximation involves an expansion in powers of…

Compact binaries consisting of neutron stars / black holes on eccentric orbit undergo a perturbed Keplerian motion. The perturbations are either of relativistic origin or are related to the spin, mass quadrupole and magnetic dipole moments…

Recent gravitational wave (GW) detections showing signatures of eccentricity and spin precession underscore the need to model binary black holes (BBHs) possessing these features simultaneously. Most efforts over the past fifteen years to…

Traditional analytical theories of celestial mechanics are not well-adapted when dealing with highly elliptical orbits. On the one hand, analytical solutions are quite generally expanded into power series of the eccentricity and so limited…
