Radiated Energy Spectrum, Radiated Angular Distribution and Non-linear Memory from the One-loop Gravitational Bremsstrahlung Waveform
Abstract
The frequency-domain gravitational waveform emitted by the scattering of two non-spinning massive particles has recently been derived at next-to-leading, \textit{i.e.} one-loop, post-Minkowskian order, . Building on this one-loop-accurate frequency-domain gravitational waveform, we successively derive the spectral gravitational-wave (GW) radiance, , the radiated GW energy spectrum, , and the radiated GW angular distribution, , up to order included. We deduce from the radiated angular distribution the multipole expansion of the non-linear memory up to order included, thereby extending previous results. We work in the center-of-mass frame, and our results reach the fractional 7.5PN accuracy. For completeness, we include the tree-level information (considered in the center-of-mass frame).
