Model-independent test of general relativity: An extended post-Einsteinian framework with complete polarization content
Model-independent test of general relativity: An extended post-Einsteinian framework with complete polarization content
We develop a model-independent test of general relativity that allows for the constraint of the gravitational wave (GW) polarization content with GW detections of binary compact object inspirals. We first consider three modified gravity theories (Brans-Dicke theory, Rosen's theory, and Lightman-Lee theory) and calculate the response function of ground-based detectors …
