A calculation of gravitational radiation Nagata, Kenneth Wayne
Abstract
Approximate gravitational field equations in an alternative theory of gravity are solved for a class of boundary conditions. The generation of gravitational radiation from spatially bounded sources is analyzed, and it is found that the theory predicts the emission of dipole gravitational radiation. However, the dipole radiation vanishes for slow-motion post-Newtonian sources.
