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 $\lesssim 0.8$.
