Abstract
We compute the rotations, during a scattering encounter, of the spins of two gravitationally interacting particles at second order in the gravitational constant (second post-Minkowskian order). Following a strategy introduced by us D. Bini and T. Damour, Phys. Rev. D 96, 104038 2017 PRVDAQ 10.1103/PhysRevD.96.104038, we transcribe our result into a correspondingly improved knowledge of the spin-orbit sector of the effective one-body (EOB) Hamiltonian description of the dynamics of spinning binary systems. We indicate ways of resumming our results for defining improved versions of spinning EOB codes which might help in providing a better analytical description of the dynamics of coalescing spinning binary black holes.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
