Abstract: We study the resonant interaction of charged particles with a gravitational wave propagating in the non-empty interstellar space in the presence of a uniform magnetic field. It is found that this interaction can be cast in the form of a parametric resonance problem which, besides the main resonance, allows for the existence of many secondary ones. Each of them is associated with a non-zero resonant width, depending on the amplitude of the wave and the energy density of the interstellar plasma. Numerical estimates of the particles' energisation and the ensuing damping of the wave are given.
