Gravitational radiation from triple star systems. (English) Zbl 0946.83015

Summary: We have studied the main features of the gravitational radiation generated by an astrophysical system constituting of three compact objects attracting one another (only via gravitational interaction) in such a manner that stable orbits do exist. We have limited our analysis to systems that can be treated with perturbative methods. We show the profile of the gravitational waves emitted by such systems. These results can be useful within the framework of the new gravitational astronomy which will be made feasible by means of the new generation of gravitational detectors such as LISA in a no longer far future.
