Abstract
The ammonia molecule has been found to emit microwave radiation at a wavelength of 1.3 cm in several interstellar clouds in the region of the galactic centre. Assuming the existence of ammonia molecules in the vicinity of a strong gravitational radiation source, one might be able to detect the effect of gravitational radiation on the ammonia maser spectrum. For this reason a detailed calculation of the inversion spectrum and the effect on it of gravitational perturbation is presented here. The results of this calculation show that the effect of gravitational perturbation is too small to be detected.
