Probing gravitational wave polarizations with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA
Probing gravitational wave polarizations with Advanced LIGO, Advanced Virgo, and KAGRA
Assuming that, for a given source of gravitational waves (GWs), we know its sky position, as is the case of GW events with an electromagnetic counterpart such as GW170817, we discuss a null stream method to probe GW polarizations including spin-0 (scalar) GW modes and spin-1 (vector) modes, especially with …
