We consider the evolution of cosmological gravitational waves in scalar-tensor theory and $F(R)$ gravity theory as typical models of the modified gravity. Although the propagation speed is not changed from the speed of light, the…

Any modification on gravity would affect not only gravitational wave (GW) generation but also GW propagation. Therefore, tests of general relativity (GR) with only GW generation or GW propagation will lead to an overestimate for deviations.…

The gravitational wave signal produced by the merger of two compact objects includes both an oscillatory transient and a non-oscillatory part, the so-called memory effect. This produces a permanent displacement of test masses and has not…

A new experiment for the gravitational waves (GWs) detection is proposed. It is indeed shown that the effect of GWs on sound waves (SWs) in a fluid is that GWs vary the pressure of the fluid by crossing it. This variation can be found by…
