Two Bodies

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.

Definition Of

We consider rotational motion of an arbitrarily composed and shaped, deformable weakly self-gravitating body being a member of a system of N arbitrarily composed and shaped, deformable weakly self-gravitating bodies in the post-Newtonian approximation of general relativity. Considering importance of the notion of angular velocity of the body (Earth, pulsar) for adequate modelling of modern astronomical observations, we are aimed at introducing a post-Newtonian-accurate definition of angular velocity. Not attempting to introduce a relativistic notion of rigid body (which is well known to be ill-defined even at the first post-Newtonian approximation) we consider bodies to be deformable and introduce the post-Newtonian generalizations of the Tisserand axes and the principal axes of inertia.
