An Improved Numerical Fit to the Peak Harmonic Gravitational Wave Frequency Emitted by an Eccentric Binary
Abstract
I present a numerical fit to the peak harmonic gravitational wave frequency emitted by an eccentric binary system in the post-Newtonian approximation. This fit significantly improves upon a previous commonly-used fit in population synthesis studies, in particular for eccentricities ≲0.8.
