Spin Dependent Gravitational Tail Memory in $D=4$
Abstract: We derive the leading spin-dependent gravitational tail memory, which appears at the second post-Minkowskian (2 PM) order and behaves as $u{-2}$ for large retarded time $u$. This result follows from classical soft graviton theorem at order $\omega\ln\omega$ as a low-frequency expansion of gravitational waveform with frequency $\omega$. First, we conjecture the result from the classical limit of quantum soft graviton theorem up to sub-subleading order in soft expansion and then we derive it for a classical scattering process without any reference to the soft graviton theorem. The final result of the gravitational waveform in the direct derivation completely agrees with the conjectured result.
