SECTION :   Gravitational Radiation Near Zone       

 

 

  
SUBJECT: curly E neg  
 

DESCRIPTION: A Dynamic Line Integral Convolution of the vector field curly E neg with no background quadrupole, with the scale chosen so as to illuminate the features of the near zone. The wavelength cT is indicated in the figure. The underlying velocity field for the DLIC is taken to be zero, so that the random pattern does not evolve, that is it is the same for each frame. This causes a lot of "flickering" in the DLIC because there is clearly a pattern propagation in the vector field displayed here that the underling velocity field of the DLIC does not match (because it is taken to be zero). At great distances the pattern in the velocity field is propagating outward at the speed of light, but we do not know how to describe the pattern speed everywhere.
