It depends on the state of the object. If the object is in a stable compressed state, it's gravity goes inward toward the center of the source in the form of a spacetime warp. If the object is in a state of breaking apart (expansion), it's gravity goes outward from the center of he source in the form of gravity waves.
Actually river is forever asking that question, as if it should mean something.
The simple fact of the matter is that gravitational waves are analogous to throwing a stone into a still pond and watching the ripples propagate, then imagine that in 3 dimensions. They are simply ripples in spacetime.
Ripples that Propagate Outward in Three Dimensions ; From the Source . Into Space . I have said this many times before .
