Now we obtain from the Newtonian momentum-velocity relation:
We evaluate the surface integrals in the evolution equation for at 1 PN order. The result for star
is
Then we have to calculate the 1 PN order . The result is
. As
depends on
, we ignore it (see Section 4.5). As a result we obtain the momentum-velocity relation at
1 PN order,
from Equation (86
).
Now as for , we first calculate the surface integrals
,
, and
from
Equations (91
) and (92
). We then find that they depend on
, hence we ignore them and obtain
To derive and
, we have to evaluate non-compact support integrals for
and
, and the
term in Equation (76
) for
:
Using the above results and the Newtonian equations of motion for the twice retardation expansion term, we finally obtain
where Evaluating the surface integrals in Equation (111) as in the Newtonian case, we obtain the 1 PN
equations of motion,
Finally let us give a summary of our procedure (see Figure 4). With the
PN order equations of
motion and
in hand, we first derive the
PN evolution equation for
. Then we solve it
functionally and obtain the mass-energy relation at
PN order. Next we calculate
at
PN order and derive the momentum-velocity relation at
PN order. Then we
calculate
and
. With the
PN mass-energy relation, the
PN
momentum-velocity relation,
, and
, we next derive the
PN deviation
field
. Finally we evaluate the surface integrals which appear in the right hand side of
Equation (111
) and obtain the
PN equations of motion. In the above calculations
we use the
PN order equations of motion to reduce the order of the equations of motion
whenever an acceleration appears in the right hand of the resulting equations of motion. For
instance, when we meet
in the right hand side of the equations motion and we have
to evaluate this up to
, then using the Newtonian equations of motion, we replace it by
. Basically we shall derive the 3 PN equations of motion with the procedure as described
above.
