Question

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. (15[1])Analytic (15[1])solutions for these phenomena (-5[1])are most easily (15[1])constructed in a transverse (*) traceless gauge. Conservation of linear momentum and conservation of mass (10[1]-5[1])both require that these phenomena (10[1])be produced by quadrupole or higher-order (10[1])configurations of mass. These phenomena (10[1])are produced by black hole mergers (10[1])and neutron (10[1])star (10[1])mergers. (10[7]-5[1])Predicted (10[2])by general relativity, (10[1])for 10 points, (-5[1])what are these ripples in spacetime produced (-5[1])by oscillating masses that were detected by LIGO in 2016.
