A rotating star's oblateness creates a deformation in the gravitational field outside the star, which is measured by the quadrupole-moment tensor. We consider the effect of the quadrupole moment on the orbital motion and rate of inspiral of a compact binary system, composed of neutron stars and/or black holes. We find that in the case of circular orbits, the quadrupole-monopole interaction affects the relation between orbital radius and angular velocity, and also the rate of inspiral, by a quantity of order (v/c)^4, where v is the orbital velocity and c the speed of light.

  1. New Universal Relations for Magnetized Neutron Stars

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Magnetized neutron stars with dipole fields obey a new exact relation between dipole moment and compactness, and approximate EoS-insensitive relations among dipole moment, quadrupole moment, and ellipticity.

  2. Symplectic mechanics of relativistic spinning compact bodies. III. quadratic-in-spin integrability in Type-D Einstein spacetimes: persistence and breakdown

    gr-qc 2026-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Quadratic-in-spin MPTD dynamics in type-D Einstein spacetimes with Killing–Yano symmetry admits five commuting first integrals—hence Liouville–Arnold integrability—only when the spin-induced quadrupole deformability p...

  3. Resummation of Universal Tails in Gravitational Waveforms

    hep-th 2025-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A universal anomalous dimension for multipole moments in GR is derived via two EFT methods and applied to resum short-distance logarithmic tails in binary gravitational waveforms.

  4. Effective-one-body model for coalescing binary neutron stars: Incorporating tidal spin and enhanced radiation from dynamical tides

    gr-qc 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new EOB model for BNS/NSBH inspirals adds tidal-spin back-reaction and finite-frequency radiation corrections, yielding waveform phase shifts up to a few radians that previous effective Love number models miss.

  5. Innermost stable circular orbit (ISCO) of arbitrary-mass compact binaries with spins at the fourth post-Newtonian order

    gr-qc 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new 4PN gauge-invariant ISCO criterion for aligned-spin compact binaries is derived, recovering Kerr in the test-mass limit and matching numerical self-force results for retrograde and moderate spins.

  6. Inferring neutron-star Love-Q relations from gravitational waves in the hierarchical Bayesian framework

    gr-qc 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hierarchical Bayesian inference on 20 high-SNR simulated binary neutron star events shows a linear lnΛ-lnQ relation suffices and constrains dynamical Chern-Simons gravity length scale to ≤10 km.

  7. Tests of General Relativity with Binary Black Holes from the second LIGO-Virgo Gravitational-Wave Transient Catalog

    gr-qc 2020-10 accept novelty 5.0 of 10

    No evidence for deviations from general relativity is found in LIGO-Virgo binary black hole events, with improved constraints on waveform parameters, graviton mass, and ringdown properties.

  8. PRECESSION 2.1: black-hole binary spin precession on eccentric orbits

    gr-qc 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Version 2.1 of the precession code extends post-Newtonian modeling of spinning black-hole binaries to eccentric orbits via a decorator-based adaptation and new evolutionary equations.
