Diffraction effects on gravitational waves propagating through a stellar cluster are analyzed both in the Fraunhoffer and Fresnel approximations. It is also found that a gravitational wave scintillation effect comes out naturally, implying that the gravitational wave intensity changes in a characteristic way as the observer moves.

Abstract
Diffraction effects on gravitational waves propagating through a stellar cluster are analyzed both in the Fraunhoffer and Fresnel approximations. It is also found that a gravitational wave scintillation effect comes out naturally, implying that the gravitational wave intensity changes in a characteristic way as the observer moves.File in questo prodotto:
