6. In general relativity, a perfectly spherical star ( in vacuum) that expands or contracts while remaining perfectly spherical cannot emit any gravitational waves (similar to the lack of e/m radiation from a pulsating charge), as Birkoff’s theorem says that the geometry remains the same exterior to the star. More generally, a radiating ...
