Colliding Plane Gravitational Waves

Halil, Mustafa (Halilsoy, Mustafa) (Physical Review D, American Physical Society (APS), 1979)

New exact solutions of the vacuum Einstein field equations are constructed which describe the collision of plane gravitational waves. These solutions generalize those of Szekeres by relaxing the requirement of collinear ...
Distinct Family of Colliding Waves in General Relativity

Halilsoy, Mustafa (Physical Review D, American Physical Society (APS), 1988)

We present a new family of exact solutions for the Einstein equations that describes colliding gravitational shock waves with cross polarization. In the limit of single polarization it reduces to a family that, up to a ...
Effects on Planetary Motion of an External EM Field

Mustafa, Halilsoy (General Relativity and Gravitation, Springer, 1993)

By considering an uncharged mass embedded in an external electromagnetic field we show that the Einstein corrections to the Newtonian results may further be modified
