Abstract

e analyze galactic black hole mergers and their emitted \ngravitational waves. Such mergers have typically unequal masses \nwith a mass ratio of order 1/10. The emitted gravitational waves \ncarry the imprint of spins and mass quadrupoles of the binary \ncomponents. Among these contributions, we consider here the \nquasi-precessional evolution of the spins. A method of taking \ninto account these third post-Newtonian (3 PN) effects by \nrenormalizing (redefining) the 1.5 PN and 2 PN accurate spin \ncontributions to the accumulated orbital phase is developed.
