Nonlinear curvature effects in gravitational waves from inspiralling black hole binaries
Nonlinear curvature effects in gravitational waves from inspiralling black hole binaries
Gravitational waves (GWs) from merging black holes allow for unprecedented probes of strong-field gravity. Testing gravity in this regime requires accurate predictions of gravitational waveform templates in viable extensions of general relativity. We concentrate on scalar Gauss-Bonnet gravity, one of the most compelling classes of theories appearing as the low-energy …
