Abstract

This paper describes analytical simplifications which make feasible the numerical calculation of the second-order news function, which gives partial information about the angular distribution of gravitational radiation emitted in the axisymmetric collision of two black holes at the speed of light. In the preceding paper, paper I, the curved radiative region of the space-time, produced after the collision of the two incoming plane-fronted shock waves, was treated using perturbation theory by making a large Lorentz boost to a frame in which a weak shock of energy λ scatters offa strong shock of energy v>>λ
