In 1996, Mano et al. found that a series of hypergeometric functions and Coulomb wave functions are valid analytic solutions to the Teukolsky equation for these phenomena. One model of the production of these non-corporeal phenomena divides their production into phases, two of which are inspiral and ringdown. Analytic solutions for these phenomena are most easily constructed in a transverse (*) traceless gauge. Conservation of linear momentum and conservation of mass both require that these phenomena be produced by quadrupole or higher-order configurations of mass. These phenomena are produced by black hole mergers and neutron star mergers. Predicted by general relativity, for 10 points, what are these ripples in spacetime produced by oscillating masses that were detected by LIGO in 2016. ■END■
