TITLE
Aligned-spin binaries from gravitational self-force
and Compton amplitudes
ABSTRACT
Accurate modeling of compact binaries is essential for gravitationalwave detection and parameter estimation, with spin being an important effect to include in waveform models. In this seminar, I will show how to derive new post-Newtonian (PN) results for the conservative aligned-spin dynamics at next-to-next-to-leading order for the spin^3 and spin^4 contributions, in addition to the next-to-leading order (NLO) spin5 and spin^6 contributions. One approach we follow is the Tutti Frutti method, which relates PN and gravitational self-force (GSF) results through the redshift and spin-precession invariants, by making use of the simple dependence of the scattering angle on the binary mass ratio. However, an ambiguity arises at the NLO spin^5 contribution, due to transcendental functions of the Kerr spin in the redshift; this is also the order at which Compton amplitudes calculations are affected by spurious poles. Therefore, we discuss an additional approach to determine the NLO spin^5 and spin^6 dynamics: using on-shell Compton amplitudes dictated by homogeneous solutions of the Teukolsky equation, the later solved non-perturbative in terms of the Nekrasov-Shatashvili Function.
