Interaction between a weak gravitational wave and the field of a rotating magnetic dipole

The interaction between a weak gravitational wave of frequency ω and the field of a magnetic dipole rotating with a frequency ωsub(0)<<ω is considered. The gravitational wave source is assumed to be located at the center of the magnetic dipole. It is shown that as a result of the interaction an electromagnetic wave of frequency ω arises, its amplitude being modulated with a frequency ωsub(0). The percentage modulation and pulse shape depend on the coordinates of the point of observation and on the angle between the axis of rotation and the magnetic axis. The radiation is linearly polarized but the plane of polarization rotates with a frequency ωsub(0). The feasibility of subpulse drift is demonstrated. The distance at which the electromagnetic wave produced by the interaction may be detected is estimated
