 Quadrupole radiation from a harmonically oscillating point mass

For a point mass moving as $z=L\cos \omega t$ along one fixed axis, the trace-free mass quadrupole moment is $m{L}^2{\cos }^2\omega t\mathrm{diag}(-1/3,-1/3,2/3)$. Its radiating component has twice the source angular frequency. The quadrupole formula gives $⟨P⟩=16G{m}^2{L}^4{\omega }^6/(15c^5)$ for this contribution in the leading slow-motion weak-field approximation. Any physical driver or support has its own quadrupole contribution; this expression is for the prescribed mass alone.
