\emph{Hint:} Use geodesic deviation equation in the proper frame at the centre of the circle. For a GW propagating in the z direction, we can write $$\frac{D^2n^j}{D\tau^2}+ R_{0j0k}n^k=0$$ where $n^j = x_B^j-x_A^j$ and use $h_{jk}^{TT}=\mathrm{Re}[A_0 e^{i(kz-\omega t)}{\mathrm{e}_{\boldmath{p}}}_{jk}]$, $\mathrm{e}_{\boldmath{p}}$ is the polarization tensor. Initially $x_B^j = x_B^j(0)$, $h_{ij}=0$.

Also, show that constructed energy-momentum tensor $t_{\mu\nu}$ of GWs is invariant under residual gauge transformation.

\item Estimate the total energy energy radiated by the binary black hole merger that produced the GW event GW150914, assuming that the distance to the source is $r \simeq400\;\text{Mpc}$ and assuming isotropic emission of GWs. \emph{Hint:} Download the whitened data $h(t)$ from the LIGO Hanford detector at the time of the GW150914 event (you may use \href{https://www.gw-openscience.org/s/events/GW150914/GW150914_tutorial.html}{this} notebook). Compute the Fourier transform $\tilde{h}(f)$ using \texttt{numpy.fft}. The radiated energy is:
