Gravitational Radiation from an Accelerating Massive Particle in General Relativity
Peter A. Hogan, Dirk Puetzfeld
A comprehensive description is given of a space--time model of an accelerating massive particle. The particle radiates gravitational waves with optical shear. The wave fronts are s…
Plane fronted electromagnetic waves and an asymptotic limit of Liénard--Wiechert fields
Peter A. Hogan, Dirk Puetzfeld
Colliding or noncolliding plane fronted electromagnetic or gravitational waves are the asymptotic limit of Robinson--Trautman spherical electromagnetic or gravitational waves. Nonc…
Colliding Plane Fronted Waves and a Gravito--Electromagnetic Searchlight
Peter A. Hogan, Dirk Puetzfeld
We present a formulation of Einstein--Maxwell vacuum fields due to plane fronted electromagnetic waves sharing their wave fronts with gravitational waves. This is based on a recent…
Plane Fronted Limit of Spherical Electromagnetic and Gravitational Waves
Peter A. Hogan, Dirk Puetzfeld
We demonstrate how plane fronted waves with colliding wave fronts are the asymptotic limit of spherical electromagnetic and gravitational waves. In the case of the electromagnetic…
Demystifying autoparallels in alternative gravity
Yuri N. Obukhov, Dirk Puetzfeld
Autoparallel curves along with geodesic curves can arise as trajectories of physical test bodies. We explicitly derive autoparallels as effective post-Riemannian geometric construc…
Gravitational Waves with Colliding or Non--Colliding Wave Fronts
Peter A. Hogan, Dirk Puetzfeld
The known exact solutions of Einstein's vacuum field equations modeling the gravitational fields of pure gravitational radiation involve wave fronts which are either planar or roug…
