I wouldn't imagine that acceleration in itself warps space...?
Actually I take that back. A pair of neutron stars in close orbit (both accelerating
under their mutual gravity) /do/ warp space, presumably due to their motion.
(...I think!)
The stress energy warps space and its value is greater due to their orbital motion
compared to them being stationary. But I don't think their acceleration per se
contributes. In fact due to their orbital motion they will radiate away energy as gravity
waves.
