Abstract
Zel’dovich and Polnarev, in their seminal paper (Zel’dovich and Polnarev, 1974) suggested that a gravitational wave generated by flyby would merely displace the particles. We confirm their prediction numerically by fine-tuning the wave profile proposed by Gibbons and Hawking (1971), and then analytically for its approximation by a Pöschl–Teller potential. Higher-order derivative profiles proposed for gravitational collapse, etc (Gibbons and Hawking, 1971) are shortly discussed.
