Detectors for these phenomena are described by sensitivity curves for a characteristic strain
These phenomena are described using the transverseÂ–traceless gauge, in which one can derive the quadrupole formula. Detectors for these phenomena are described by sensitivity curves for a characteristic strain h over some timescale. These phenomena are generated when the quadrupole moment of a mass distribution changes in time, which is why their best-understood sources are inspiraling binaries. The existence of these phenomena was strongly suspected because the orbital decay of the HulseÂ–Taylor binary pulsar agreed with the predictions of general relativity. A binary black hole merger led to the LIGO ("lie-go") experiment's direct detection of, for 10 points, what phenomena that are the propagation of ripples in spacetime curvature?
