The diffraction effects on gravitational waves propagating through a stellar cluster are analyzed in the relevant approximation of Fresnel diffraction limit. We find that a gravitational wave scintillation effect — similar to the radio source scintillation effect — comes out naturally, implying that the gravitational wave intensity changes in a characteristic way as the observer moves.

Abstract
The diffraction effects on gravitational waves propagating through a stellar cluster are analyzed in the relevant approximation of Fresnel diffraction limit. We find that a gravitational wave scintillation effect — similar to the radio source scintillation effect — comes out naturally, implying that the gravitational wave intensity changes in a characteristic way as the observer moves.File in questo prodotto:
