Abstract

In the present paper the gravitational radiation emitted from large solar energetic flares and from the Sun as a whole in the course of the generation shock waves and quadrupole oscillations of the solar body are studied. The expected densities of the energy fluxes of the gravitational radiation at the distance of the Earth are calculated.
