Emission of Gravitational Waves and Their Detection

  • FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEMS IN METROLOGY
  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

Results are reported from the first detection of perturbations of space-time, gravitational waves of cosmic origin. An alternative approach to estimating the energy losses through gravitational waves in a binary system of astrophysical objects is introduced. Possibilities for further study are examined.

Notes

  1. A black hole is the simplest astrophysical object, which is characterized by mass, angular momentum (spin), and possibly charge. Instead of a physical boundary, these objects are described by a conditional event horizon at the Schwarzschild radius r S = 2GM/c 2.
