Phys. Rev. D 78, 102001 (2008) [8 pages]Spacetime encodings. I. A spacetime reconstruction problemReceived 8 July 2008; published 5 November 2008 This paper explores features of an idealized mathematical machine (algorithm) that would be capable of reconstructing the gravitational nature (the multipolar structure or spacetime metric) of a compact object, by observing gravitational radiation emitted by a small object that orbits and spirals into it. An outline is given of the mathematical developments that must be carried out in order to construct such a machine. © 2008 The American Physical Society URL:
