Zusammenfassung:
Motivated by the search for gravitational waves emitted by binary black
holes, we investigate the gravitational radiation field of point particles with
spins within the framework of the multipolar-post-Newtonian wave generation
formalism. We compute: (i) the spin-orbit (SO) coupling effects in the binary's
mass and current quadrupole moments one post-Newtonian (1PN) order beyond the
dominant effect, (ii) the SO contributions in the gravitational-wave energy
flux and (iii) the secular evolution of the binary's orbital phase up to 2.5PN
order. Crucial ingredients for obtaining the 2.5PN contribution in the orbital
phase are the binary's energy and the spin precession equations, derived in
paper I of this series. These results provide more accurate gravitational-wave
templates to be used in the data analysis of rapidly rotating Kerr-type
black-hole binaries with the ground-based detectors LIGO, Virgo, GEO 600 and
TAMA300, and the space-based detector LISA.
