Report on derivations of amplitude of gravitational waves from various objects

This is a report in which i have derived expressions for gravitational wave strain and luminosity of various objects, such as rotating ellipsoid, axisymmet ric core collapsing star. To view it click here (pdf) or here(ps file)

Report on Mass loss rate expressions (webbink and Iben, ps file) or pdf file

proposal-2004. This is a proposal i wrote for Coates scholar research grant. This is little out of date and i have done some unfinished work i mentioned in the proposal. Good to glance if you want quick intro to my work.
