On gravitational waves from classical three body problem

Abstract

Using an effective one body approach we describe in detail gravitational waves from classical three body problem on a non-rotating straight line and derive their basic physical characteristics. Special attention is paid to the irregular motions of such systems and to the significance of double and triple collisions. The conclusive role of the collinear solutions is also discussed in short. It is shown that the residuals may contain information about irregular motion of the source of gravitational waves.
