Description

We present the gravitational waveform produced by the scattering encounter of two classical spinning objects at leading order in Newton's constant but to all orders in the spin vectors of the objects. Our results are based on amplitudes that are compatible with known properties of Kerr black holes. We include in our analysis contact deformations of the constituent amplitudes that are needed to match the black-hole-perturbation-theory description of Kerr black holes in the super-extremal limit.
