12. This formula, valid for any, possibly relativistic, source at the linearized approximation is a standard result, given, e.g., in the book by S. Weinberg, Gravitation and Cosmology (Wiley, New York, 1972). We rederived it from scratch both to establish our notation in detail and because it is underused, for wave form calculations, in the cosmic-string literature.
