Gravitational wave memory: further examples
P. -M. Zhang, Q. -L. Zhao, M. Elbistan +1
Ehlers and Kundt [1] argued in favor of the velocity effect: particles initally at rest hit by a burst of gravitational waves should fly apart with constant velocity after the wave…
Displacement memory for flyby
P. -M. Zhang, Q. -L. Zhao, J. Balog +1
Zel'dovich and Polnarev, in their seminal paper [1] suggested that a gravitational wave generated by flyby would merely displace the particles. We confirm their prediction numerica…
Displacement within velocity effect in gravitational wave memory
P. -M. Zhang, P. A. Horvathy
Particles initially at rest hit by a passing sandwich gravitational wave exhibit, in general, thevelocity memory effect (VM): they fly apart with constant velocity. For specific va…
Conformally related vacuum gravitational waves, and their symmetries
Q. L. Zhao, P. M. Zhang, P. A. Horvathy
A special conformal transformation which carries a vacuum gravitational wave into another vacuum one is built by using Möbius-redefined time. It can either transform a globally def…
