9 Issue of asymptotic flatness [Friedman, Uryū & Shibata (2002)] Binaries on circular orbits have a helical Killing symmetry k a Helically symmetric spacetimes are not asymptotically flat [Gibbons & Stewart (1983); Detweiler (1989); Klein (2004)] Asymptotic flatness can be recovered if radiation can be turned off : Conformal Flatness Condition Post-Newtonian approximation For asymptotically flat spacetimes: k a Ñ t a ` Ω φ a and δq δm ADM Ω δj
10 Application to black hole binaries [Friedman, Uryū & Shibata (2002)] Rigidity theorem Ñ black holes are in a state of corotation Conformal flatness condition Ñ asymptotic flatness recovered preferred normalization of κ i è For binary black holes the generalized first law reduces to δm ADM Ω δj`ÿ i κ i 8π δa i A 1 Ω κ 2 r + M ADM,J

17 Rotating black hole + corotating moon We choose for the geodesic γ the unique equatorial, circular orbit with azimuthal frequency ω H, i.e., the corotating orbit Gravitational radiation-reaction is Opε 2 q and neglected ë the spacetime geometry has a helical symmetry In adapted coordinates, the helical Killing field reads χ a t a ` ω H φ a Conserved orbital quantity associated with symmetry: z χ a u a m 1 pe ω H Lq Σ 2π/ω H γ u a χ a
18 Zeroth law for a black hole with moon [Gralla & Le Tiec (2013)] Because of helical symmetry and corotation, the expansion and shear of the perturbed future event horizon H vanish Rigidity theorems then imply that H is a Killing horizon [Hawking (1972); Chruściel (1997); Friedrich et al. (1999); etc] The horizon-generating Killing field must be of the form k a pεq t a ` ` ω loooooomoooooon H ` ε Dω H φa ` Opε 2 q circular orbit frequency Ω The surface gravity κ is defined in the usual manner as κ p a k b a k b q H Since κ const. over any Killing horizon [Bardeen et al.
