3 Jul 2001 | Journal: | Astron.Astrophys. 377 (2001) 701 | Subject: | astro-ph | Abstract: | The propagation of a gravitational wave (GW) through a magnetized plasma is considered. In particular, we study the excitation of fast magnetosonic waves (MSW) by a gravitational wave, using the linearized general-relativistic hydromagnetic equations. We derive the dispersion relation for the plasma, treating the gravitational wave as a perturbation in a Minkowski background space-time. We show that the presence of gravitational waves will drive magnetosonic waves in the plasma and discuss the potential astrophysical implications. | Source: | arXiv, astro-ph/0107043 | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites |
