On gravitational waves in spacetimes with a nonvanishing cosmological constant
We study the effect of a cosmological constant Λ on the propagation and detection of gravitational waves. To this purpose we investigate the linearized Einstein's equations with terms up to linear order in Λ in a de Sitter and an anti-de Sitter background spacetime. In this framework the cosmological term does not induce changes in the polarization states of the waves, whereas the amplitude get...
متن کاملNonexpanding impulsive gravitational waves with an arbitrary cosmological constant
Exact solutions for nonexpanding impulsive waves in a background with nonzero cosmological constant are constructed using a “cut and paste” method. These solutions are presented using a unified approach which covers the cases of de Sitter, anti-de Sitter and Minkowski backgrounds. The metrics are presented in continuous and distributional forms, both of which are conformal to the corresponding ...
متن کاملGravitational Perfect Fluid Collapse With Cosmological Constant
In this paper, the effect of a positive cosmological constant on spherically symmetric collapse with perfect fluid has been investigated. The matching conditions between static exterior and non-static interior spacetimes are given in the presence of a cosmological constant. We also study the apparent horizons and their physical significance. It is concluded that the cosmological constant slows ...
متن کاملGravitational Dust Collapse with Cosmological Constant
In this paper, we study the effect of a positive cosmological constant on spherically symmetric dust collapse. We take the FRW metric in the interior region whereas Schwarzschild-de Sitter in the exterior region. The matching conditions between exterior and interior spacetimes are given in the presence of a cosmological constant. We also discuss the apparent horizons and their physical signific...
متن کاملCosmological Waveguides for Gravitational Waves
We study the linearized equations describing the propagation of gravitational waves through dust. In the leading order of the WKB approximation, dust behaves as a nondispersive, non-dissipative medium. Taking advantage of these features, we explore the possibility that a gravitational wave from a distant source gets trapped by the gravitational field of a long filament of galaxies of the kind s...
