Abstract
The contribution to the correction of the perihelion precession of binary systems due to energy loss from gravitational radiation emissions, as a follow-up to our previous papers, is obtained for the OJ287 system, which has a large discrepancy not satisfied by the Schwarzschild metric. Using our formulation of the perihelion advance correction from the rate of change of the orbital energy, as well as our alternate correction and spin contributions from previous papers, we obtain a theoretical value of 39.76 degrees for the total perihelion precession angle correction of the OJ287 system, within 1.7% of the observed value of 39.1 ± 0.1.
