利用 LIGO-Virgo 目录 GWTC-1 中的双黑洞信号检验广义相对论
广义相对论与量子宇宙学

摘要
Advanced LIGO 与 Advanced Virgo 对引力波的探测，为在传统天文观测与实验室测试无法触及的 regime 中检验广义相对论提供了契机。我们提出了四项检验，以考察数据与广义相对论所预言的双黑洞引力波波形的一致性。第一项检验从数据中减去最佳拟合波形，并检查残差与探测器噪声的一致性。第二项检验考察观测信号低频与高频部分的一致性。第三项检验考察在波形模型中引入的现象学偏差（包括后牛顿系数中的偏差）是否为零。第四项检验约束了由修正色散关系（包括有质量引力子所致者）引起的引力波传播修正。我们给出了单个事件的结果，以及将 Advanced LIGO 与 Advanced Virgo 第一次与第二次观测运行中特别强的事件合并所得的结果，这些事件收录于 GWTC-1 目录。我们未发现数据与广义相对论预言有任何不一致，并将此前给出的合并约束提升了 1.1 至 2.5 倍。特别地，我们将引力子质量约束为 （ 可信水平），较此前结果提升 1.6 倍。此外，我们核查了 GWTC-1 中首次发布的四个引力波事件，其并未对替代偏振给出比此前发布更强的约束。
