Gravitational waves in massive conformal gravity

arXiv:2007.03637 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-020-8224-z

Abstract

First, we obtain the plane wave solution of the linearized massive conformal gravity field equations. It is shown that the theory has seven physical plane waves. In addition, we investigate the gravitational radiation from binary systems in massive conformal gravity. We find that the theory with large graviton mass can reproduce the orbit of binaries by the emission of gravitational waves.
