In the exact (non-linear) formulation of general relativity (GR) no motion of bodies can give origin to gravitational waves (GW's) - as it has been proved. Accordingly, the measured rate of change of the orbital period of binary pulsar B…
Around 1936, Einstein wrote to his close friend Max Born telling him that, together with Nathan Rosen, he had arrived at the interesting result that gravitational waves did not exist, though they had been assumed a certainty to the first…
RX J0806+15 has recently been identified as the binary system with the shortest known orbital period. We present a series of observations of RX J0806+15 including new optical observations taken one month apart. Using these observations and…
We study gravitational waves emitted by a binary system of non-spinning bodies in a quasi-circular inspiral within the framework of Einstein-aether theory. In particular, we compute explicitly and analytically the expressions for the…
There are reference frames for which both stars of binary radio-pulsar PSR1913+16 are at rest. As a consequence, PSR1913+16 does not emit gravity waves. (If the accelerated bodies should send out a gravitational radiation, they would…
In a recent paper we have deduced the basic equations that predict the emission of gravitational waves (GW) according to the Einstein gravitation theory. In a subsequent paper these equations have been used to calculate the luminosities and…
This review is focused on tests of Einstein's theory of general relativity with gravitational waves that are detectable by ground-based interferometers and pulsar-timing experiments. Einstein's theory has been greatly constrained in the…
A close comparison between Maxwell field and Einstein field makes conceptually and immediately evident that in general relativity (GR) no motions of bodies can generate gravitational waves (GW's).
We discuss some aspects of de Araujo, Coelho & Costa (2016, 2017) concerning the role of a time dependent magnetic ellipticity on the pulsars' braking indices and on the putative gravitational waves (GWs) these objects can emit. Since only…
We use the basic equations that predict the emission of gravitational waves according to the Einstein gravitation theory to calculate the luminosities and the amplitudes of the waves generated by binary stars, pulsations of neutron stars,…

None of N-body gravitating systems have been considered to emit periodic gravitational waves because of their chaotic orbits when N=3 (or more). We employ a figure-eight orbit as a specific model for a 3-body system in order to illustrate…
Gravitational waves are expected to be radiated by supermassive black hole binaries formed during galaxy mergers. A stochastic superposition of gravitational waves from all such binary systems will modulate the arrival times of pulses from…
The gravitational radiation power of a binary system in a noncommutative space is derived and it's rate of the period decrease is calculated to first order in noncommutativity parameter. By comparing the theoretical results with the…
In this thesis we consider the data analysis problem of detecting gravitational waves emitted by inspiraling binary systems. Detection of gravitational waves will open a new window on the Universe enabling direct detection of systems such…
I give here: i) a very simple proof that the physical non-existence of gravitational waves (GW's) is quite consistent with the basic principles of general relativity (GR); ii) a new argument against the physical existence of GW's; iii) a…
Three bodies moving in a periodic orbit under the influence of Newtonian gravity ought to emit gravitational waves. We have calculated the gravitational radiation quadrupolar waveforms and the corresponding luminosities for the 13+11…
The energy-momentum budget of the astrophysical systems can be studied by the exact local conservation equation derived by Landau and Lifshitz. We show that a similar equation is valid for the Einstein-Cartan gravity. We reanalyze a binary…
In his 1916 ground-breaking general relativity paper Einstein had imposed a restrictive coordinate condition, his field equations were valid for coordinate systems which are unimodular. Later, Einstein published a paper on gravitational…
In this study, gravitational waveforms emitted by inspiralling compact binary systems on quasicircular orbits in hybrid metric-Palatini gravity are computed in the lowest post-Newtonian approximation. By applying the stationary phase…
