The energy content of (exact) electromagnetic and gravitational plane waves is studied in terms of super-energy tensors (the Bel, Bel-Robinson and the --less familiar-- Chevreton tensors) and natural observers. Starting from the case of single waves, the more interesting situation of colliding waves is then discussed, where the nonlinearities of the Einstein's theory play an important role. The causality properties of the super-momentum four vectors associated with each of these tensors are also investigated when passing from the single-wave regions to the interaction region.

  1. Elliptically Polarized Plane Gravitational Waves

    Exact elliptically polarized plane gravitational wave solutions exhibit a cosmic jet effect: generic timelike and null geodesics asymptotically align with the propagation direction at speed c.
