测地线汇、脉冲引力波和引力记忆

Geodesic congruences, impulsive gravitational waves and gravitational memory

Martin O'Loughlin, Hovhannes Demirchian

摘要:

本文介绍了一种新的方法来研究包含物质源和引力波的混合脉冲波对穿过它的测地线汇的影响,我们发现脉冲波对测地线汇的影响是汇的B张量的不连续性。因此,我们的研究结果提供了一个检测器独立和协变的引力记忆的表征。

英文摘要:

In this paper we introduce a new approach to the study of the effects that an impulsive wave, containing a mixture of material sources and gravitational waves, has on a geodesic congruence that traverses it. We find that the effect of the wave on the congruence is a discontinuity in the B-tensor of the congruence. Our results thus provide a detector independent and covariant characterization of gravitational memory.
