Scientific paper

These lectures give an overview of the uses of effective field theories in describing gravitational radiation sources for LIGO or LISA. The first lecture reviews some of the standard ideas of effective field theory (decoupling, matching, power counting) mostly in the context of a simple toy model. The second lecture sets up the problem of calculating gravitational wave emission from non-relativistic binary stars by constructing a tower of effective theories that separately describe each scale in the problem: the internal size of each binary constituent, the orbital separation, and the wavelength of radiated gravitons.
