Voyager detections of Plasma oscillation events can be associated with neutron star production of gravitational waves

POSTER

Abstract

Ocker et al recently published a report on plasma oscillation events (POE) detected by Voyager 1 after traveling past the heliopause. One possible mechanism for this is the vacuum production of electromagnetic radiation by gravitational waves (coproduction). We calculate the magnitude of coproduction of very low frequency electromagnetic radiation from gravitational waves. Demonstrating that a likely source of these gravitational waves is neutron stars. This is further motivated by Voyager detections of cosmic rays with many of the POE. We demonstrate that the neutron star coproduction is multiple orders of magnitude greater than the detection point for Voyager. Indicating either inefficiency in the conversion of low-range electromagnetic radiation to plasma oscillations, absorption of coproduction near the source, or distant sources.
