A Class of Collisions of Plane Impulsive Light--Like Signals in General Relativity
C. Barrabes, P. A. Hogan
We present a systematic study of collisions of homogeneous, plane--fronted, impulsive light--like signals which do not interact after head--on collision. For the head--on collision…

The Aichelburg-Sexl Boost of Domain-Walls and Cosmic Strings
C. Barrabes, P. A. Hogan, W. Israel
We consider the application of the Aichelburg-Sexl boost to plane and line distributions of matter. Our analysis shows that for a domain wall the space-time after the boost is flat…

Recoil and Ring--Down Effects in Gravitation
C. Barrabes, P. A. Hogan
We construct a model of a relativistic fireball or light--like shell of matter by considering a spherically symmetric moving gravitating mass experiencing an impulsive deceleration…
