Dipole motion e.g. two bodies orbiting each other like the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar, does gravitational waves. Assuming of course, by dipole motion you mean a rotating dipole (like a binary star system), like a dumbell. However the dipole moment does not contribute significantly to the gravitational radiation. The quadrupole moment does. |
