Abstract

If Weber's gravitational-wave observations are interpreted in terms of a source at the Galactic center, both the intensity and the frequency of the waves are more reasonable if the source is assumed to emit in a synchrotron mode (narrow angles, high harmonics). Although presently studied sources for such modes are astrophysically unsatisfactory—high-energy, nearly circular, scattering orbits—other possible sources are under study.
