Testing general relativity with amplitudes of subdominant gravitational-wave modes
Ish Gupta, Purnima Narayan, Lionel London +2
The paper introduces an improved test of general relativity that examines the amplitudes of higher-order (subdominant) gravitational-wave modes from binary black hole mergers, vali…
Effect of Type II Strong Gravitational Lensing on Tests of General Relativity
Purnima Narayan, Nathan K. Johnson-McDaniel, Anuradha Gupta
Gravitational wave (GW) observations of binary black hole (BBH) coalescences provide a unique opportunity to test general relativity (GR) in the strong-field regime. To ensure the…
Confronting general relativity with principal component analysis: Simulations and results from GWTC-3 events
Parthapratim Mahapatra, Sayantani Datta, Ish Gupta +10
We present a comprehensive assessment of multiparameter tests of general relativity (GR) in the inspiral regime of compact binary coalescences using principal component analysis (P…
Possible Causes of False General Relativity Violations in Gravitational Wave Observations
Anuradha Gupta, K. G. Arun, Enrico Barausse +40
General relativity (GR) has proven to be a highly successful theory of gravity since its inception. The theory has thrivingly passed numerous experimental tests, predominantly in w…
