Description

We investigate the dynamics and radiation of electrically charged black hole binaries within the post-Newtonian (PN) framework. We derive the conservative dynamics up to second post-Newtonian (2PN) order from a harmonic-coordinate Lagrangian incorporating both gravitational and electromagnetic interactions, and we compute the leading dissipative effects induced by charge. Furthermore, we analyze the radiative sector by evaluating the total energy flux and the waveform modes, focusing on new hereditary contributions generated by the presence of the electromagnetic field.
