Gravitational Radiation
- W. Bonnor
- Nature
- 1958
IN recent years there has been a good deal of controversy about gravitational radiation. Historically, the position is as follows. It was shown quite soon after the publication of the general theory… Expand
The rigidly rotating relativistic dust cylinder
- W. Bonnor
- Physics
- 1 June 1980
The solution of van Stockum (1937) consists of a rotating dust interior, and three exterior metrics referring to different ranges of the mass per unit length. It has been stated in the literature… Expand
Spherically symmetric radiation of charge in Einstein-Maxwell theory
- W. Bonnor, P. C. Vaidya
- Physics
- 1970
We give solutions of the Einstein-Maxwell equations describing the emission of charged null fluid from a spherically symmetric body. The electromagnetic field is parallel to the direction of energy… Expand
The photon rocket
- W. Bonnor
- Physics
- 1 August 1994
There is an exact solution of Einstein's equations corresponding to a particle emitting null fluid anisotropically, and accelerating because of the recoil. I examine this solution and find no sign of… Expand
Physical interpretation of vacuum solutions of Einstein's equations. Part I. Time-independent solutions
- W. Bonnor
- Physics
- 1 May 1992
This article is a review of interpretations which have been given to some well known solutions of the vacuum equations. Special attention is paid to those of Schwarzschild, Curzon and Kerr, and it is… Expand
The gravitational field of light
- W. Bonnor
- Physics
- 1 September 1969
I obtain an exact solution of Einstein's equations representing the gravitational field of a steady beam of light. Another exact solution representing two parallel beams shining in the same sense is… Expand
Spherical gravitational waves
- W. Bonnor
- Physics
- Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society…
- 1959
The field of gravitational radiation emitted from two moving particles is investigated by means of general relativity. A method of approximation is used, and in the linear approximation retarded… Expand
A new interpretation of the NUT metric in general relativity
- W. Bonnor
- Physics
- 1 July 1969
The NUT metric is interpreted as the field of ( a ) a mass around the origin of coordinates, and ( b ) a semi-infinite massless source of angular momentum.
