Gravitational Memory: an approximate description

Q. -L. Zhao, P. -M. Zhang, M. Elbistan +2

The large-distance behaviour of a sandwich gravitational wave can be approximated by a continuous but not necessarily smooth profile, providing us with a simplified description of…

Memory Effect for deformed gravitational waves

P. -M. Zhang, M. Elbistan, P. A. Horvathy

Deformations of sandwich gravitational waves are considered. Squeezing a wave with pure displacement (DM) parameters to an impulsive wave, the DM property is lost, leaving us with…

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…

Globally defined Carroll symmetry of gravitational waves

Mahmut Elbistan, Peng-Ming Zhang, Peter Horvathy

The local Carroll symmetry of a gravitational wave found in Baldwin-Jeffery-Rosen coordinates is extended to a globally defined one by switching to Brinkmann coordinates. Two indep…

Flyby-induced displacement: analytic solution

P. -M. Zhang, Z. K. Silagadze, P. A. Horvathy

The motion of particles hit by a burst of gravitational waves generated by flyby admits, for the derivative-of-the-Gaussian profile, only a numerical description. The profile can h…

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…
