Scientific paper

We show that highly excited Rydberg atoms nearby astrophysical gravitational wave sources are expected to emit significant electromagnetic radiation in the radio through a process of gravitationally induced resonance fluorescence. Semiclassical arguments are discussed and a quantum-mechanical expression for the differential cross section is obtained. This process could provide a new observational tool for the remote detection and study of gravitational waves.
