Gravitational Waves and Gravitational-wave Sourcestwo

Chinese Astronomy and Astrophysics, 2018
Abstract The recent discovery of gravitational-wave burst GW150914 marks the coming of a new era of gravitational-wave astronomy, which provides a new window to study the physics of strong gravitational field, extremely massive stars, extremely high energy processes, and extremely early universe.

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 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 ...
