Gravitational Waves from an Axi–symmetric Source in the Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory
نویسنده
چکیده
We examine gravitational waves in an isolated axi–symmetric reflexion symmetric NGT system. The structure of the vacuum field equations is analyzed and the exact solutions for the field variables in the metric tensor are found in the form of expansions in powers of a radial coordinate. We find that in the NGT axially symmetric case the mass of the system remains constant only if the system is static (as it necessarily is in the case of spherical symmetry). If the system radiates, then the mass decreases monotonically and the energy flux associated with waves is positive. 04.30.+x, 04.50.+h Typeset using REVTEX

Gravitational Waves in the Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory
We prove that the flux of gravitational radiation from an isolated source in the Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory is identical to that found in Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity.
متن کاملCosmological Models in the Nonsymmetric Gravitational Theory
Cosmological consequences of the nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) are studied. The structure of the NGT field equations is analyzed for an inhomogeneous and anisotropic universe, based on the spherically symmetric field equations. It is assumed that the matter density and pressure are purely time dependent, and it is shown that the field equations allow open, flat and closed universes. T...
متن کاملA Decision between Bayesian and Frequentist Upper Limit in Analyzing Continuous Gravitational Waves
Given the sensitivity of current ground-based Gravitational Wave (GW) detectors, any continuous-wave signal we can realistically expect will be at a level or below the background noise. Hence, any data analysis of detector data will need to rely on statistical techniques to separate the signal from the noise. While with the current sensitivity of our detectors we do not expect to detect any tru...

A nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT) is presented which is free of ghost poles, tachyons and higher-order poles and there are no problems with asymptotic boundary conditions. An extended Birkhoff theorem is shown to hold for the spherically symmetric solution of the field equations. A static spherically symmetric solution in the short-range approximation, µ −1 > 2m, is everywhere regular a...
متن کاملGravitational Wave Signatures of Superdense Objects in a Nonsingular Solution of Gravity Theory
A massive gravitationally bound object with a radius r ≤ 2GM/c 2 , which occurs in the non-singular version of the nonsymmetric gravitational theory (NGT), replaces the black hole in Einstein gravity theory. This object is kept stable by the attractive and repulsive forces generated by NGT, as well as standard matter pressures, and is called a superdense object (SDO). The luminosity of gravitat...
