We investigate the direct effect of magnetic fields on gravitational waves.
To do so, we study the post-Newtonian energy-momentum tensor of the magnetized
fluid and the post-Newtonian expansion of the gravitational potential in the
wave zone. We show that the magnetic field appears even in the first
post-Newtonian order of the multipole moment tensor. Then, we derive an
explicit relativistic correction containing the magnetic field contribution to
the well-known quadrupole formula. As an application of this derivation, we
explicitly prove that the magnetic field of millisecond magnetars can be a
promising source of the gravitational waves. We show that this type of
gravitational wave is strong enough to be detected by the next generation of
the detectors.
