Vector and Tensor Contributions to the Luminosity Distance    [PDF]

Enea Di Dio, Ruth Durrer

We compute the vector and tensor contributions to the luminosity distance fluctuations in first order perturbation theory and we expand them in spherical harmonics. This work presents the formalism with a first application to a stochastic background of primordial gravitational waves.
