(11.64)Note that P j=0 , P j=1 , P j=2 all go to zero in the limit ω BD →∞.11.3.4 Scalar GWsWe now give the explicit form of the scalar GWs radiat<strong>ed</strong> by a binary system. Tothis end, note that the major semi-axis, a, is relat<strong>ed</strong> to the total energy, E, ofthesystem through the following equationa =− Gm 1m 22E . (11.65)Let us consider the case of a circular orbit, remembering that in the last phaseof evolution of a binary system this condition is usually satisfi<strong>ed</strong>. Furthermorewe will also assume m 1 = m 2 . With these positions only the quadrupole term,(11.60), of the gravitational radiation is different from zero. The total powerradiat<strong>ed</strong> in GWs, averag<strong>ed</strong> over time, is then given by (11.62)–(11.64)P =8 G 4 m 2 1 m2 2 m15(ω BD + 2) c 5 d 5 [6(2ω BD + 3) + 1] (11.66)where d is the relative distance between the two stars. The time variation of d inone orbital period isḋ =− Gm 1m 22E 2 P (11.67)
