i
Assume a spatially compact source of size d≪r=∣x∣, internal speeds much smaller than one, and wavelength much larger than d. In the radiation zone,
∣x−x′∣=r+O(d),t−∣x−x′∣=t−r+O(d),
(1)
so
hˉij​(t,x)≃r4​∫d3x′Tij​(t−r,x′).
(2)
Define the mass quadrupole moment
Iij​(t)=∫d3xT00​(t,x)xi​xj​.
(3)
Twice using ∂μ​Tμν=0, discarding boundary terms, gives
I¨ij​=2∫d3xTij​.
(4)
Hence
hˉij​(t,x)≃r2​I¨ij​(t−r)​.
(5)
