Gravitational clock compass and the detection of gravitational waves

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2020-02-19 v2

Abstract

We present an alternative derivation of the gravitational clock compass and show how such a device can be used for the detection of gravitational waves. Explicit compass setups are constructed in special types of space--times, namely for exact plane gravitational waves and for waves moving radially relative to an observer.
