We derive the contributions of spin-orbit and spin-spin coupling to the gravitational radiation from coalescing binary systems of spinning compact objects. We calculate spin effects in the symmetric, trace-free radiative multipoles that determine the gravitational waveform, and the rate of energy loss. Assuming a balance between energy radiated and orbital energy lost, we determine the spin effects in the evolution of the orbital frequency and orbital radius. Assuming that a laser interferometric gravitational observatory can track the gravitational-wave frequency (twice the orbital frequency) as it sweeps through its sensitive bandwidth between about 10 Hz and one kHz, we estimate the accuracy with which the spins of the component bodies can be determined from the gravitational-wave signal.

  1. Generalized Carter & R\"udiger Constants of $\sqrt{\text{Kerr}}$

    gr-qc 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Generalized Carter and Rüdiger constants for spinning charged probes in √Kerr backgrounds exist only for Wilson coefficients matching spin-exponentiated effective Compton amplitudes up to second order in spin.

  2. Heterotic Footprints in Classical Gravity: PM dynamics from On-Shell soft amplitudes at one loop

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Derives conservative potential and scattering angle for charged black holes in EMD theory via one-loop soft amplitudes, showing IR finiteness after Lippmann-Schwinger treatment and smooth reduction to GR.

  3. Consistency of spin effects between numerical relativity and perturbation theory for inspiraling comparable-mass black hole binaries

    gr-qc 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0

    Adiabatic point-particle black hole perturbation theory reproduces numerical-relativity spin effects in comparable-mass inspirals to within ~1%, so only small spin-dependent post-adiabatic corrections are needed.

  4. Worldline effective field theory of inspiralling black hole binaries in presence of dark photon and axionic dark matter

    hep-th 2023-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Computes 1PN conservative dynamics for gravitational/EM/Proca fields and 2PN for scalar, plus radiation effects from axion-photon coupling at high PN orders in binary black hole systems with dark matter.

  5. The first decade of gravitational-wave measurements of black hole spins

    gr-qc 2026-06 conditional novelty 1.0

    A decade of gravitational-wave data shows most merging stellar-mass black holes have small spins, with subdominant fast-spinning, misaligned, and hierarchical-merger populations.

  6. The first decade of gravitational-wave measurements of black hole spins

    gr-qc 2026-06 unverdicted

    A review summarizing formation-channel predictions, waveform effects, and population-level constraints on stellar-mass black hole spins from the first decade of gravitational-wave observations.
