Zusammenfassung: | The recently established formalism of a worldline quantum field theory, which describes the classical scattering of massive bodies (black holes, neutron stars, or stars) in Einstein gravity, is generalized up to quadratic order in spin, revealing an alternative N=2 supersymmetric description of the symmetries inherent in spinning bodies. The far-field time domain waveform of the gravitational waves produced in such a spinning encounter is computed at leading order in the post-Minkowskian (weak field, but generic velocity) expansion, and exhibits this supersymmetry. From the waveform we extract the leading-order total radiated angular momentum in a generic reference frame, and the total radiated energy in the center-of-mass frame to leading order in a low-velocity approximation. |
