Focusing of gravitational radiation into the galactic plane

Creators

Description

We consider rays of gravitational radiation emitted near the event horizon of a maximally rotating black hole at the galactic center, aligned with the galactic rotation. If the emitting matter is concentrated in the equatorial plane of the black hole, the focusing effect of the metric will be concentrated in the galactic plane. An average intensification of about an order of magnitude results at the earth.
