On often used gauge transformations in gravitational radiation-reaction calculations

  • Published:
Lettere al Nuovo Cimento (1971-1985)

Summary

The gauges in which the well-known gravitational quadrupole radiation-reaction force have been frequently derived are criticized. A new gauge is described and a new form of the reaction force is given.
