Gravitational lens time delays and gravitational waves.
Using Fermat’s principle, we analyze the effects of very long wavelength gravitational waves upon the images of a gravitationally lensed quasar. We show that the lens equation in the presence of gravity waves is equivalent to that of a lens with different alignment between source, deflector, and observer in the absence of gravity waves. Contrary to a recent claim, we conclude that measurements ...
متن کاملInteraction between gravitational waves and domain walls
We study the gravitational perturbations of thick domain walls. The refraction index and spin properties of the solutions interior to the wall are analyzed in detail. It is shown that the gravitational waves suffer a refraction process by domain walls. The reflection and transmission coefficients are derived in the thin wall limit. In relation to the spin content, it is shown that the “×” helic...
متن کاملDomain Boundaries, Goldstone Bosons and Gravitational Waves
The dynamical behaviour of domain boundaries between different realizations of the vacuum of scalar fields with spontaneously broken phases is investigated. They correspond to zero-modes of the Goldstone fields, moving with the speed of light, and turn out to be accompanied by strongly oscillating gravitational fields. In certain space-time topologies this leads to a quantization condition for ...
متن کاملIntroduction. Progress in astronomy: from gravitational waves to space weather.
This brief paper introduces and reviews the 'visions of the future' articles prepared by leading young scientists throughout the world for the first of two Christmas 2008 Triennial issues of Phil. Trans. R. Soc. A, devoted, respectively, to astronomy and Earth science. Contributions in astronomy include the very topical gamma-ray bursts, new ideas on stellar collapse and the unusual atmospheres...
