Sector models of a plane gravitational waveUte Kraus and •Corvin Zahn — Universität Hildesheim

We present sector models that visualize the properties of a plane gravitational wave. These include the spatial curvature and the motion of free particles within the wave.

Sector models can provide an intuitive understanding of the intrinsic geometry of curved spaces or spacetimes. They are built by dividing curved space or spacetime into small blocks with Euclidean or Minkowski geometry respectively.
