Some remarks on the Bel-Robinson tensor and gravitational radiation

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2017-03-17 v3

Abstract

The asymptotic form of the Bel-Robinson tensor in the gravitational radiation-zone is obtained in terms of the mass quadrupole of the source. A comparison is made with the standard formula for the gravitational power emission. The problem of a fully covariant description of gravitational radiation in terms of this tensor is discussed with some detail.
