Abstract

ABSTRACT We investigate the generation of gravitational waves from the rotation of an orthogonal pulsar magnetosphere in flat space-time. We calculate the first-order metric perturbation due to the rotation of the non-axisymmetric distribution of electromagnetic energy density around the central star. We show that gravitational waves from a strong magnetic field pulsar right after its formation within a distance of 1 kpc may be detectable with the new generation of gravitational wave detectors.
