Query: Gravitational waves from inspiralling compact binaries: Energy loss and
  waveform to second--post-Newtonian order   Gravitational waves generated by inspiralling compact binaries are
investigated to the second--post-Newtonian (2PN) approximation of general
relativity. Using a recently developed 2PN-accurate wave generation formalism,
we compute the gravitational waveform and associated energy loss rate from a
binary system of point-masses moving on a quasi-circular orbit. The crucial new
input is our computation of the 2PN-accurate ``source'' quadrupole moment of
the binary. Tails in both the waveform and energy loss rate at infinity are
explicitly computed. Gravitational radiation reaction effects on the orbital
frequency and phase of the binary are deduced from the energy loss. In the
limiting case of a very small mass ratio between the two bodies we recover the
results obtained by black hole perturbation methods. We find that finite mass
ratio effects are very significant as they increase the 2PN contribution to the
phase by up to 52\%. The results of this paper should be of use when
deciphering the signals observed by the future LIGO/VIRGO network of
gravitational-wave detectors.
