Computationally effective gravitational waveforms for compact binaries with arbitrary eccentricity — •Manuel Tessmer and Achamveedu Gopakumar — Friedrich - Schiller - Universität, Max-Wien-Platz 1, 07743 Jena

Compact binaries in highly eccentric orbits are possible sources of gravitational waves for Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). We present an algorithm to compute highly accurate and efficient gravitational wave polarizations associated with bound compact binaries of arbitrary eccentricity and mass ratio moving in slowly precessing orbits. We also present reasons for the superior nature of our approach.
