Spacetime Encodings I- A Spacetime Reconstruction Problem
arXiv:0807.1178 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.78.102001
Abstract
This paper explores features of an idealized mathematical machine (algorithm) that would be capable of reconstructing the gravitational nature (the multipolar structure or spacetime metric) of a compact object, by observing gravitational radiation emitted by a small object that orbits and spirals into it. An outline is given of the mathematical developments that must be carried out in order to construct such a machine.
