Gravity Beyond Einstein: Gravitational-Wave Signatures of New Physics
The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary black holes (BBHs) allows us to test the predictions of General Relativity (GR) in a highly-warped regime for the first time in history. Input from fundamental physics indicates that GR is not a complete theory, and therefore it must undergo modifications that would become relevant in extremely powerful gravitational fields. The next generation of GW observatories will probe extreme gravitational phenomena with a new level of precision, and hence opens a new window to observe the effects of these modifications. This project will describe the most relevant smoking-gun signatures of modifications of GR on GW observations of BBHs,…
