We show that the gravitational wave source counts distribution can test how gravitational radiation propagates on cosmological scales. This test does not require obtaining redshifts for the sources. If the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR,…
Supernovae are one of the most promising gravitational wave sources. But, since the system of the supernovae is nearly spherically symmetric, the expected gravitational waves from them are relatively weak, compared to the case of the…
