论引力波探测器方位与引力波源方位间的关系

本文从计算棒状引力波天线的指向性函数出发,讨论了引力波源的方位和天线棒方位之间的关系,找到了从符合实验数据求出引力波源方位以及利用单一引力波探测器对连续引力波源的定位方法。所得的结果也适用于其他形式的一维引力波天线。一旦引力波探测器的灵敏度达到足以确定引力波强度时,本文的结果无疑对引力波天文学将是很有意义的。 关键词：     

DETERMINATION OF THE PERIOD OF A TORSION PENDULUM BY THE FITTING METHOD IN REAL TIME

A phenomenological study on the fitting method in real time has been done, and the method was applied to process and analyze the extensive data of a long period torsion pendulum used to determine Newtonian gravitational constant G. The result shows that the fitting method in real time is effective to determine the period of a torsion pendulum with a relative precision of 10^-5 orders.

POSITIVE DEFINITE PROBLEM OF ENERGY DENSITY AND RADIATIVE ENERGY FLUX FOR PULSE CYLINDRICAL GRAVITATIONAL WAVE

By using the general expressions of energy momentum pseudo-tensor of the cylin-drical gravitational waves (GW) given by Rosen and Virbhadra in Cartesian coor-dinates, the concrete forms of energy density and radiative energy flux of the pulse cylindrical GW are obtained. Their physical properties, suitable range and asymp-totic behaviour are considered. It is found that: For the region in which space radial coordinates to origin are greater than the pulse width of the pulse cylindrical GW, the energy density and radiative energy flux of the outward travelling pulse cylindrical GW propagating along at light-cone are positive definite. However, for the region in which the space radial coordinates are less than the pulse width, there is no guarantee for the positive definite property of the radiative energy flux of the outward travelling wave. Moreover, we show that the asymptotic behaviour of the energy and energy flux densities of the pulse cylindrical GW and that of the Riemann curvature tensor have good self-consistancy in space like, time like and null infinity regions.     

A special form of electrodynamical response to a gravitational wave：outgoing and imploding photon fluxes

We have investigated the interaction of an electromagnetic (EM) wave with a standing gravitational wave (GW) in an external static magnetic field,and obtained concrete forms of first-order perturbative EM energy fluxes.Unlike the propagating properties of the “left-circular” and “right-circular” waves of the tangential perturbative energy fluxes around the symmetrical axis,the radial perturbative energy fluxes are expressed as the outgoing and imploding waves to the symmetrical axis.We also examine several physical examples and show that this effect can produce very small but nonvanishing radial perturbative photon fluxes.This may be useful for EM detection of the high-frequency relic GWs of the GHz region in quintessential inflationary models.

狭窄波束型高频引力辐射与电磁场的作用效应

从弱引力场的Einstein-Maxwell方程出发,讨论了晶体空间阵列的狭窄波束型高频引力辐射与电磁场的作用效应,并给出了扰动解。计算表明,在TT(Transvese Traceless)坐标系中,最优辐射方向的引力波束是纯十型极化的,并可使同频的电磁波产生倍频的扰动效应,使静态电磁场产生与时间成线性关系的累积扰动效应。对于任意方向上的引力辐射波束,在垂直于引力波矢的平面内仍然是纯十型极化的。在高频辐射和实验室典型尺度条件下,TT坐标系与Fermi坐标系的差异是可以忽略的。 关键词：     

A GROUP OF EXACT (3+1) DIMENSIONAL CYLINDRICALLY SYMMETRIC WAVE SOLUTIONS TO THE EINSTEIN GRAVITATIONAL FIELD EQUATION

Starting with the diagonal spacetime metric tensor, the Einstein gravitational field equation is solved, and a set of exact (3+1) dimensional cylindrically symmetric wave solutions with two arbitrary functions are found. In these solutions all nonvanishing components of spacetime metric tensor are varying with the same propagating factor (ct-z) while the waves are travelling along z axis. The physical picture and the condition of positive energy density of the wave solutions are discussed.
