Testing General Relativity with Gravitational Waves
Zack Carson, Kent Yagi
Gravitational-wave sources offer us unique testbeds for probing strong-field, dynamical and nonlinear aspects of gravity. In this chapter, we give a brief overview of the current s…
Probing Fundamental Physics with Gravitational Waves
Zack Carson
The explosive coalescence of two black holes 1.3 billion light years away has for the very first time allowed us to peer into the extreme gravity region of spacetime surrounding th…
Probing beyond-Kerr spacetimes with inspiral-ringdown corrections to gravitational waves
Zack Carson, Kent Yagi
Gravitational waves from the explosive merger of distant black holes are encoded with details regarding the complex extreme-gravity spacetime present at their source. Famously desc…
Probing Einstein-dilaton Gauss-Bonnet Gravity with the inspiral and ringdown of gravitational waves
Zack Carson, Kent Yagi
Gravitational waves from extreme gravity events such as the coalescence of two black holes in a binary system fill our observable universe, bearing with them the underlying theory…
Measuring Nuclear Matter Parameters with NICER and LIGO/Virgo
Josef Zimmerman, Zack Carson, Kristen Schumacher +2
The NICER Collaboration recently reported the measurement of the mass and radius of a pulsar PSR J0030+0451. We here use this new measurement to constrain one of the higher-order n…
Probing string-inspired gravity with the inspiral-merger-ringdown consistency tests of gravitational waves
Zack Carson, Kent Yagi
The extreme-gravity collisions between black holes allow us to probe the underlying theory of gravity. We apply the theory-agnostic inspiral-merger-ringdown consistency test to an…
Asymptotically flat, parameterized black hole metric preserving Kerr symmetries
Zack Carson, Kent Yagi
Recently the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration, with very-long baseline interferometric observations, resolved structure at the scale of Schwarzschild radii about the c…
