For a rod of mass M and length L spinning about its center at frequency omega, they carry away an energy per unit time equal to 2/45 M squared L to the fourth omega to the sixth.

In 1975, a system of two stars in an elliptical orbit with a maximum separation of roughly one solar radius was found by Hulse and Taylor; precision measurements of this system have shown a speedup in orbital frequency consistent with emission of these. FTP, what is this form of radiation for which one needs a time-varying quadruple moment in a mass distribution?
