First search for nontensorial gravitational waves from known pulsars

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, B. P. Abbott +1050

We present results from the first directed search for nontensorial gravitational waves. While general relativity allows for tensorial (plus and cross) modes only, a generic metric…
