Testing general relativity using gravitational waves from binary neutron stars: Effect of spins

Abstract

We present a Bayesian data analysis pipeline for testing GR using gravitational wave signals from coalescing compact binaries, and in particular binary neutron stars. In this study, we investigate its performance when sources with spins are taken into account.
