Abstract

According to general relativity, a binary consisting of spinning bodies will precess due to spin-orbit and spin-spin coupling. The corresponding modulation of its gravitational waves might be a serious problem for detecting such waves with simple post-Newtonian templates. A new family of templates that takes into account the complications arising from the orbital precession is proposed and its application and performance are discussed.
