Gravitational radiation from rotating gravitational collapseThe efficiency of gravitational wave emission from axisymmetric rotating collapse to a black hole was found to be very low: Delta E/Mc sq. less than 7 x 10(exp -4). The main waveform shape is well defined and nearly independent of the details of the collapse. Such a signature will allow pattern recognition techniques to be used when searching experimental data. These results (which can be scaled in mass) were obtained using a fully general relativistic computer code that evolves rotating axisymmetric configurations and directly computes their gravitational radiation emission.
