Dispersion of gravitational waves in cold spherical interstellar medium (vol 27, 1850040, 2018)

摘要

The study published in IJMPD 27(4):1850040, 2018 provided a numerical result for the frequency-shift of GWs due to dispersion in interstellar medium. In order to adjust the metric functions of the originally improperly matched 'background' spacetime in Sec. 2.1, the authors have adopted Darmois-Israel junction conditions. In Sec. 4.1 the code used in the original paper erroneously computed the magnitude of frequency-shift for the transient event GW150914 due to a missing conversion factor. In both cases where numerical errors and potential contradictions have been identified and eliminated, adjustments were undertaken in order to maintain consistency with closely-related earlier studies.
