Accelerating Photons with Gravitational Radiation
نویسنده
چکیده
The nature of superluminal photon propagation in the gravitational field describing radiation from a time-dependent, isolated source (the Bondi-Sachs metric) is considered in an effective theory which includes interactions which violate the strong equivalence principle. Such interactions are, for example, generated by vacuum polarisation in conventional QED in curved spacetime. The relation of the resulting light-cone modifications to the Peeling Theorem for the Bondi-Sachs spacetime is explained.

Photon rockets and gravitational radiation
The absence of gravitational radiation in Kinnersley’s “photon rocket” solution of Einstein’s equations is clarified by studying the mathematically well-defined problem of point-like photon rockets in Minkowski space (i.e. massive particles emitting null fluid anisotropically and accelerating because of the recoil). We explicitly compute the (uniquely defined) linearized retarded gravitational ...
متن کاملNeutrinos and Gravitational Radiation Initial question: What can neutrinos and gravitational waves
Throughout this course we’ve focused almost exclusively on photons. This is reasonable for a radiative processes class, especially because virtually all information we have about astronomy comes from detections of photons in one way or another. For this lecture, however, we’ll take steps in other directions. More and more experiments are aimed at detecting qualitatively different types of radia...

متن کاملObserving Gravitational Radiation with QSO Proper Motions and the SKA
The history of astronomy has been that of our measurement of photons from astrophysical objects and, more recently, the early universe (the CMB). Analogously, the universe is thought to be suffused by gravitational radiation — a background from sources in the early universe (e.g., inflation) and “foregrounds” from the gravitational interaction of massive astrophysical objects, such as the massi...
متن کاملThe Perfect Cosmological Principle and the Hubble Effect
A wide range of astronomical data are inconsistent with the expanding Universe theory. A more adequate framework is provided by the Seeliger-Einstein steady state cosmological model, in which the Hubble effect is a consequence of the energy degradation of photons due to the asymmetry of gravitational interaction of photons with the matter distributed in the front and back half-spaces. Gravitati...
