Gravitationally Driven Electromagnetic Perturbations of Neutron Stars and Black Holes
arXiv:1303.5641 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.87.084018
Abstract
Gravitational perturbations of neutron stars and black holes are well known sources of gravitational radiation. If the compact object is immersed in or endowed with a magnetic field, the gravitational perturbations would couple to electromagnetic perturbations and potentially trigger synergistic electromagnetic signatures. We present a detailed analytic calculation of the dynamics of coupled gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations for both neutron stars and black holes. We discuss the prospects for detecting the electromagnetic waves in these scenarios and the potential that these waves have for providing information about their source.
