Abstract
Las ondas gravitacionales fueron teorizadas por Albert Einstein un año después de postular la teoría de la Relatividad General. Durante un siglo se ha debatido sobre su significado físico, explorando diferentes vías para demostrar su existencia. Esto exige revisar los principios básicos de la formulación linealizada de las ecuaciones de Einstein, buscando sistemas de referencia adecuados para resolverlas y para describir posibles métodos de detección directa. Los primeros intentos de observar estos fenómenos usaron barras resonantes estudiadas en el sistema de referencia propio del detector, pero no han sido exitosos. En las últimas décadas se han establecido ambiciosos proyectos de detección directa basados en interferometría. Las dificultades técnicas asociadas al uso de estos aparatos son enormes, pero los avances técnicos han permitido la reciente detección directa de ondas gravitacionales.

This necessitates a review of the fundamental principles of the linearized formulation of Einstein’s equations, looking for appropriate frames to solve them and to describe potential methods of direct detection. Initial attempts to observe these phenomena used resonant bars described in the detector’s proper frame, but they were unsuccessful. In recent decades, ambitious projects for direct detection based on interferometry have been established. The technical challenges associated with using these devices are substantial, but technological advances have enabled the recent direct detection of gravitational waves.
