Two Body Problem

ABSTRACT A Kepler solver is an analytical method used to solve a two-body problem. In this paper, we propose a new correction method by slightly modifying the Kepler solver. The only change to the analytical solutions is that the obtainment of the eccentric anomaly relies on the true anomaly that is associated with a unit radial vector calculated by an integrator. This scheme rigorously conserves all integrals and orbital elements except the mean longitude. However, the Kepler energy, angular momentum vector, and Laplace–Runge–Lenz vector for perturbed Kepler problems are slowly varying quantities. However, their integral invariant relations give the quantities high-precision values that directly govern five slowly varying orbital elements. These elements combined with the eccentric anomaly determine the desired numerical solutions. The newly proposed method can considerably reduce various errors for a post-Newtonian two-body problem compared with an uncorrected integrator, making it suitable for a dissipative two-body problem. Spurious secular changes of some elements or quasi-integrals in the outer Solar system may be caused by short integration times of the fourth-order Runge–Kutta algorithm. However, they can be eliminated in a long integration time of 108 yr by the proposed method, similar to Wisdom–Holman second-order symplectic integrator. The proposed method has an advantage over the symplectic algorithm in the accuracy but gives a larger slope to the phase error growth.

This chapter embarks on a study of the two-body problem in general relativity. In other words, it seeks to describe the motion of two compact, self-gravitating bodies which are far-separated and moving slowly. It limits the discussion to corrections proportional to v2 ~ m/R, the so-called post-Newtonian or 1PN corrections to Newton’s universal law of attraction. The chapter first examines the gravitational field, that is, the metric, created by the two bodies. It then derives the equations of motion, and finally the actual motion, that is, the post-Keplerian trajectories, which generalize the post-Keplerian geodesics obtained earlier in the chapter.

This chapter presents the basics of the ‘effective-one-body’ approach to the two-body problem in general relativity. It also shows that the 2PN equations of motion can be mapped. This can be done by means of an appropriate canonical transformation, to a geodesic motion in a static, spherically symmetric spacetime, thus considerably simplifying the dynamics. Then, including the 2.5PN radiation reaction force in the (resummed) equations of motion, this chapter provides the waveform during the inspiral, merger, and ringdown phases of the coalescence of two non-spinning black holes into a final Kerr black hole. The chapter also comments on the current developments of this approach, which is instrumental in building the libraries of waveform templates that are needed to analyze the data collected by the current gravitational wave detectors.
