Spherical Gravitational Waves

Physical Review, 1959
The field equations of the general theory of relativity are solved in the linear approximation for all cases of spherical waves with quadrupole symmetry. Energy is radiated outward by all these waves as determined by the canonical expression for the energy flux.

Gravitational Waves and Gravitational Wave Detectors

2020
Just over 100 years ago, Albert Einstein published his General Theory of Relativity, which describes the interaction between matter, energy, space, and time and explains that the force of gravity is a result of the curvature of space and time (Einstein in Die feldgleichungen der gravitation. Preussische Akademie der Wissenschaften, Sitzungsberichte, pp

Gravitational wave observatory

Applied Optics, 1990
This brief report from NSF discusses the Foundation's hope to construct a gravitational wave observatory and provide a long-sought test for Einstein's theory of relativity.

GRAVITATIONAL WAVES AND CAUSALITY

Reviews in Mathematical Physics, 1992
A strictly ordered hierarchy of eight causal properties encountered in General Relativity is reviewed for the explicit case of the gravitational plane waves. Illustrative proofs are given to the effect that the place of these space-times is precisely known in the hierarchy: they are causally continuous, but not causally simple. The other conditions of

Gravitational Wave Astronomy

Annalen der Physik, 2000
AbstractGravitational waves, as predicted by the theory of General Relativity, have been studied theoretically for many decades. However, due to the weak coupling of gravitation with matter, it has not yet been possible to measure them directly. Up to now, we only have indirect evidence of the existence and the effect of gravitational radiation by ...

Colliding Gravitational Waves

Nature, 1970
NOWHERE should the nonlinear features of general relativity show up more clearly than in the collisional interaction of two gravitational waves. One of the direct consequences of the linearity of Maxwell's equations is that electromagnetic waves pass straight through each other, and this is probably one of the best attested facts of physics.

Sources of gravitational waves

AIP Conference Proceedings, 2001
We discuss the characteristic features of the signals emitted by some astrophysical sources of gravitational waves, that are most likely to be seen by gravitational detectors in the near future.

Receiving Gravitational Waves

2015
Introduction Gravitational waves are a consequence of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, first presented in 1915 and published in 1916 [1]. Einstein himself linearized his theory and derived wave equations and calculated the gravitational radiation produced by sources in the weak-field, slow-motion limit [2]. As described in the following Chapter,

GRAVITATIONAL WAVE SOURCES

2006
Gravitational waves may reach the Earth in different forms which depend on the nature of the emitting source: they may be short bursts, outcome of a catastrophic event like the gravitational collapse or the coalescence of a binary system; they may be continuous, weak wavetrains emitted by a non axially symmetric, rotating neutron star or by binary ...
