As an application, a new family of impulsive gravitational wave solutions propagating in various Petrov type D backgrounds is introduced.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGravitational wave solutions of quadratic curvature gravity using a null coframe formulationArticle89610.1103/PhysRevD.89.0640542-s2.0-84898758486Q1WOS:000334308800010Q1
