Hang-on, all mass creates gravity waves, a natural product of the interaction between the energy momentum and the gravitational field, right?

So even though we are not technologically advanced to detect them (personally I believe we cannot), they must surely be there and radiating...ergo eating into the Sun's mass at some [perhaps tiny] rate. Surely we must know an approximation of what's being given off too.
