Gravitational radiation from a rotating triaxial body
= Gravitational radiation from a rotating triaxial body
{title2=$P=\frac{32G}{5c^5}\Omega^6(I_1-I_2)^2$}
For a rigid body rotating around its third principal axis, the anisotropic part of its <second mass moment tensor> oscillates at angular frequency $2\Omega$. The <quadrupole formula> gives the displayed luminosity. Equal transverse principal moments remove this rotating quadrupole and its leading <gravitational wave> emission.
