The Gravitational Cherenkov Radiation
An example of discontinuity of the energy-momentum tensor moving at superluminal velocity is discussed. It is shown that the gravita-tional Mach cone is formed. The power spectrum of the corresponding Cherenkov radiation is evaluated.
متن کاملLower Bound on the Propagation Speed of Gravity from Gravitational Cherenkov Radiation
Recently, interesting 4-D Lorentz violating models have been proposed, in which all particles have a common maximum velocity c, but gravity propagates (in the preferred frame) with a different maximum velocity cg 6= c. We show that the case cg < c is very tightly constrained by the observation of the highest energy cosmic rays. Assuming a galactic origin for the cosmic rays gives a conservative...
متن کاملCherenkov Radiation in a Gravitational Wave Background
A covariant criterion for the emission of Cherenkov radiation in the field of a non-linear gravitational wave is considered in the framework of exact integrable models of particle dynamics and electromagnetic wave propagation. It is shown that vacuum interacting with curvature can give rise to Cherenkov radiation. The conically shaped spatial distribution of radiation is derived and its basic p...
متن کاملConstraining the New Aether : Gravitational Cherenkov Radiation
We study the simplest concrete theory for spontaneous Lorentz violation , the " New Aether Theory " of Jacobson and Mattingly, which is a vector-tensor gravitational theory with a fixed-modulus condition on the vector field. We show that the observation of ultra-high energy cosmic rays (which implies the absence of energy loss via various Cherenkov type processes) places constraints on the para...
