We give equations of motion for the center of mass and intrinsic angular momentum of axially symmetric sources that emit gravitational radiation. This symmetry is used to uniquely define the notion of total angular momentum. The center of mass then singles out the intrinsic angular momentum of the system.

Coalescing binary systems (e.g. pulsars, neutron stars and black holes) are currently considered to be the most likely sources of gravitational radiation, yet to be detected on or near Earth, where the local gravitational field is negligible and the Poincaré symmetry rules. On the other hand, the general theory of gravitational waves emitted by axially symmetric rotating sources predicts the existence of a nonvanishing news function. The existence of such function implies that, for a distant observer, the asymptotic group of isometries, the BMS group, has a translational symmetry that depends on the orbit periodicity of the source, thus breaking the isotropy of the Poincaré translations. These results suggest that the asymptotic BMS-covariant wave equation should be applied to obtain a proper theoretical basis for the gravitational waves observations from those binary sources.

Using a framework based on the [Formula: see text] formalism, we carry out a study on axially and reflection symmetric dissipative fluids, in the quasi-static regime. We first derive a set of invariantly defined “velocities”, which allow for an inambiguous definition of the quasi-static approximation. Next, we rewrite all the relevant equations in this approximation and extract all the possible, physically relevant, consequences ensuing the adoption of such an approximation. In particular, we show how the vorticity, the shear and the dissipative flux, may lead to situations where different kind of “velocities” change their sign within the fluid distribution with respect to their sign on the boundary surface. It is shown that states of gravitational radiation are not a priori incompatible with the quasi-static regime. However, any such state must last for an infinite period of time, thereby diminishing its physical relevance.

We present the new formula for gravitational-radiation energy loss that replaces the familiar quadrupole formula. The new formula helps to clarify why the quadrupole formula works when it does. The origin of the correction tensor is discussed and then applied to the axially symmetric two-body problem. With the conventional equation of state, ε = ε(P), the correction tensor vanishes and the radiation is that of the bulk-motion quadrupole formula. This is to be compared with our earlier result with an unconventional equation of state giving more radiation and with that of critics claiming dominant radiation via internal motions with the quadrupole formula. An order-of-magnitude calculation is performed for a binary system, where it is found that there is the potential for contributions from nonlinear terms to be as significant as those from the linear terms after(Gm/α)−5/6 orbits. This occurs after ~102 years for the binary pulsar PSR1913 + 16.
