Description
The dynamics of binary black hole and neutron star systems in the early inspiral phase are well described by a post-Newtonian expansion in small velocities and weak coupling. Adopting nonrelativistic effective field theory techniques known from quarkonium systems this expansion can be formulated in terms of multiloop Feynman diagrams. I discuss results for the complete fifth and partial sixth order corrections.
