Scientific paper

The behaviour of a gyroscope at rest in the TT-grid of a gravitational plane wave is analysed. It is shown that spatial frames adapted to the observer carrying the gyroscope (with respect to which the precession must be measured) can be selected in order to have a precession which is dominated (to first order in the dimensionless amplitude h of the wave) only by one polarization state of the wave, giving the gyroscope a sort of filtering property. The discussion is then generalized to the case of a gyroscope in generic geodetic motion in the same background.
