Emission of spacetime waves from the partial collapse of a compact object

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this work we describe the partial collapse of a compact object and the emission of spacetime waves as a result of back-reaction effects. As a source mass term we propose a non-smooth continuous function that describes a mass-loss, and we then obtain the solution of such setting. We present three distinct examples of the evolution of the norm |Rnl(t,r∗)| in terms of t, and four different results are shown for the parameter l=1,2,5,10; here r∗ is the fixed radius of an observer outside the compact object. In all cases, the decay behaviour is actually present at tgg1 and becomes more evident for larger l. In addition, for the results that have smaller l's their amplitudes are larger when the asymptotic character of |Rnl(t,r∗)| clearly appears. Finally, the farther away an observer is set, the fewer oscillations are perceived; however, from our particular fixed set of parameters, the best spot to observe the wiggles of the emitted spacetime waves is close to r∗simeqalpha.
