Abstract: In this talk, we review some of the tools to model compact objects with effective field theory to study their numerical evolution in the late inspiral before merging or disrupting. We show that by adding Newtonian effects such as spin, tidal and dissipative effects in addition to gravitational wave radiation, the contribution to the phase evolution in the gravitational waveform is significant in order to match the coefficients of the theory from gravitational wave observations and constrain fundamental physics.
