Know about the book -

Exact Space-Time Models of Gravitational Waves is written by Peter A. Hogan and published by Springer Nature. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 3031168267 (ISBN 10) and 9783031168260 (ISBN 13).

The book is about exact space-time models of the gravitational fields produced by gravitational radiation. The authors’ extensive work in the field is reviewed in order to stimulate the study of such models, that have been known for a long time, and to highlight interesting physical aspects of the existing models in some novel detail. There is an underlying simplicity to the gravitational radiation studied in this book. Apart from the basic assumption that the radiation has clearly identifiable wave fronts, the gravitational waves studied are directly analogous to electromagnetic waves. The book is meant for advanced students and researchers who have a knowledge of general relativity sufficient to carry out research in the field.
