A full explanation of the motion of trapped particles would be too abstract and mathematical for this level, but some basic ideas may be described on an intuitive level. The magnetic force on a moving particle is always perpendicular to the motion, as well as to the magnetic field lines. That is why the basic pattern is motion in a circle, around a magnetic field line. ... The best-known periodic motion is the back-and-forth swing of a pendulum, say of a weight suspended by a string (drawing). ...

Next: Gravitational Wave Background from Previous: Galactic Gravitational Wave Background . ... It is intuitively clear that at frequencies above the critical ones for our Galaxy, one will detect rare bright jerks produced by coalescing white dwarfs   (at a rate of 1 per 100 year) and NS (at a rate of 1 per - year) in our Galaxy, against a background of the extragalactic stochastic GW. ... Firstly we consider GWB from close individual galaxies, and then will discuss overall extragalactic GWB. ...
