Photoproduction of Gravitational Radiation by Pulsars

G. Papini, S. R. Valluri

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

Emission of gravitational radiation via photoproduction in static electromagnetic fields can equal or exceed the quadrupole contribution for pulsars whose ellipticity ε < 10−3 and may play a role in the cooling of the star. Contrary to the quadrupole emission case, radiation can take place also when the direction of the dipole moment and the rotation axis coincide. Radiation rates are also estimated for several frequency ranges of the photon spectrum.
