Description
We focus on the motion of a detector caused by a near-zone, time dependent gravitational source, taking into account general relativistic effects. We find that the corrections due to the acceleration of the source can be large enough so that they could potentially be measured. We then look at tectonic plate motion during earthquakes as a viable source that could allow for the prompt gravitational detection of earthquakes via these relativistic effects.
