Gravitational Memory: an approximate description
Q. -L. Zhao, P. -M. Zhang, M. Elbistan +2
Plane gravitational waves play a role both in relativistic and in non-relativisitic physics, highlighted by two different mass parameters. The large-distance behaviour of a sandwic…
Approximate Models for Gravitational Memory
Q-L Zhao, P. -M. Zhang, M. Elbistan +1
The large-distance approximation of a sandwich gravitational wave by a continuous but not necessarily smooth profile provides us with an approximate analytic description of particl…
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…
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…
MultiCarroll dynamics
P. -M. Zhang, H-X. Zeng, P. A. Horvathy
Unlike a single Carroll particle, a multiparticle Carroll system can move under suitable conditions, as we demonstrate it explicitly for two particles with a momentum-dependent int…
Gravitational Waves and Conformal Time Transformations
P. -M. Zhang, Q. -L. Zhao, P. A. Horvathy
Recent interest in the "memory effect" prompted us to revisit the relation of gravitational aves and oscillators. 50 years ago Niederer [1] found that an isotropic harmonic oscilla…
