Impulsive spherical gravitational waves
Penrose’s identification with warp provides the general framework for constructing the continuous form of impulsive gravitational wave metrics. We present the 2-component spinor formalism for the derivation of the full family of impulsive spherical gravitational wave metrics which brings out the power in identification with warp and leads to the simplest derivation of exact solutions. These sol...
متن کاملExpanding impulsive gravitational waves
We explicitly demonstrate that the known solutions for expanding impulsive spherical gravitational waves that have been obtained by a “cut and paste” method may be considered to be impulsive limits of the Robinson–Trautman vacuum type N solutions. We extend these results to all the generically distinct subclasses of these solutions in Minkowski, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter backgrounds. For the...
متن کاملNon-expanding impulsive gravitational waves
We investigate a class of impulsive gravitational waves which propagate either in Minkowski or in the (anti–) de Sitter background. These waves are constructed as impulsive members of the Kundt class P (Λ) of non-twisting, non-expanding type N solutions of vacuum Einstein equations with a cosmological constant Λ. We show that the only non-trivial waves of this type in Minkowski spacetime are im...
متن کاملExact solutions for impulsive gravitational waves∗
All impulsive waves (with no tails) in vacuum backgrounds of constant curvature (i.e. Minkowski, de Sitter and anti-de Sitter) are classified according to whether they are expanding or non-expanding. It is demonstrated that the expanding waves may, in some sense, be regarded as impulsive limits of Robinson–Trautman type N solutions.
متن کاملImpulsive Electron Acceleration by Gravitational Waves
We investigate the nonlinear interaction of a strong gravitational wave with the plasma during the collapse of a massive magnetized star and subsequent formation of a black hole or during the merging of neutron star binaries (the central engine). We found that under certain conditions this coupling may result in an efficient energy-space diffusion of particles. We suggest that the atmosphere cr...
