Quadrupole Gravitational Wave Radiation Formulas

The strain for the gravitational waves far from the source of the radiation is given by

Here, g is the metric tensor, eta is the Minkowski metric, and h is the distortion caused by the gravitational wave. The strains h are much smaller than the Minkowski metric.
For slow motion sources, the quadrupole approximation leads to the following expressions for the strains for the two polarization modes,

In the above, I_ij is the quadruple moment tensor, and we mix Cartesian and spherical polar coordiantes. The GW luminosity and reaction torque are
