- Abstract
Binary compact objects will be among the important sources for the future space-based gravitational wave detectors. Such binary compact objects include stellar massive binary black hole, binary neutron star, binary white dwarf and mixture of these compact objects. Regarding to the relatively low frequency, the gravitational interaction between the two objects of the binary is weak. Post-Newtonian approximation of general relativity is valid. Previous works about the waveform model for such binaries in the literature consider the dynamics for specific situations which involve detailed complicated matter dynamics between the two objects. We here take a different idea. We adopt the trick used in pulsar timing detection. For any gravity theories and any detailed complicated matter dynamics, the motion of the binary can always be described as a post-Keplerian expansion. And a post-Keplerian gravitational waveform model will be reduced. Instead of object masses, spins, matter's equation of state parameters and dynamical parameters beyond general relativity, the involved parameters in our post-Keplerian waveform model are the Keplerian orbit elements and their adiabatic variations. Respect to current planning space-based gravitational wave detectors including LISA, Taiji and Tianqin, we find that the involved waveform model parameters can be well determined. And consequently the detail matter dynamics of the binary can be studied then. For binary with purely gravitational interactions, gravity theory can be constrained well.
