Gravitational Radiation from Travelling Waves on D-Strings
نویسنده
چکیده
Boundary states that preserve supersymmetry are constructed for fractional D-strings with travelling waves on a C/Z2 × Z2 orbifold. The gravitational radiation emitted between two D-strings with antiparallel travelling waves is calculated.

Gravitational Radiation by Cosmic Strings in a Junction
The formalism for computing the gravitational power radiation from excitations on cosmic strings forming a junction is presented and applied to the simple case of co-planar strings at a junction when the excitations are generated along one string leg. The effects of polarization of the excitations and of the back-reaction of the gravitational radiation on the small scale structure of the string...
متن کاملOn the rotation of polarization by a gravitational lens
It is proved that the field of a gravitational lens induces no rotation in the polarization vector of electromagnetic radiation, in agreement with the previous literature, but with a different approach. The result is generalized to the case of less conventional gravitational lenses (static cosmic strings and gravitational waves). To appear in Astronomy and Astrophysics
متن کاملRelic gravitational waves from cosmic strings: Updated constraints and opportunities for detection.
We examine the spectrum of gravitational radiation emitted by a network of cosmic strings, with emphasis on the observational constraints and the opportunities for detection. The analysis improves over past work, as we use a phenomenological model for the radiation spectrum emitted by a cosmic string loop. This model attempts to include the effect of the gravitational back-reaction on the radia...
متن کاملThe rotation of polarization by gravitational waves
There are conflicting statements in the literature about the gravitational Faraday rotation of the plane of polarization of polarized electromagnetic radiation travelling through a gravitational wave. This issue is reconsidered using a simple formalism describing the rotation of the plane of polarization in a gravitational field, in the geometric optics approximation. It is shown that, to first...
متن کاملGravitational Radiation from Monopoles Connected by Strings
CONNECTED BY STRINGS Xavier Martin and Alexander Vilenkin Institute of Cosmology, Department of Physics and Astronomy, Tufts University, Medford, MA 02155, USA Monopole-antimonopole pairs connected by strings can be formed as topological defects in a sequence of cosmological phase transitions. Such hybrid defects typically decay early in the history of the universe but can still generate an obs...
