Bounding the mass of the graviton with gravitational waves: effect of higher harmonics in gravitational waveform templates
Observations by laser interferometric detectors of gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binary systems can be used to search for a dependence of the waves' propagation speed on wavelength, and thereby to bound the mass or Compton wavelength of a putative graviton. We study the effect of including higher harmonics, as …
