2 Einstein s Theory of Gravitation a necessary consequence of Special Relativity with its finite speed for information transfer gravitational waves come from the acceleration of masses and propagate away from their sources as a space-time warpage at the speed of light gravitational radiation binary inspiral of compact objects 1-July-05 YKIS Barish 2
3 Einstein s Theory of Gravitation gravitational waves Using Minkowski metric, the information about space-time curvature is contained in the metric as an added term, h μν. In the weak field limit, the equation can be described with linear equations. If the choice of gauge is the transverse traceless gauge the formulation becomes a familiar wave equation 1 c t 2 2 ( 2 2 ) h μν = 0 The strain h μν takes the form of a plane wave propagating at the speed of light (c). Since gravity is spin 2, the waves have two components, but rotated by 45 0 instead of 90 0 from each other. h h ( t z / c) + hx ( t z / c) = + 1-July-05 YKIS Barish 3 μν
