TThe detection of gravitational waves from merging binary black holes has led to a bound on the mass of a hypothetical massive carrier of the gravitational interaction predicted by some modified gravity theories (a massive graviton, for…
A novel constraint on $f(R)$ theories of gravity is obtained from the gravitational wave signal emitted from the binary neutron star merger event GW170817. The $f(R)$ theories possess an additional massive scalar degree of freedom apart…
The gravitational wave (GW) detection of a binary neutron star inspiral made by the Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo paves the unprecedented way for multi-messenger observations. The propagation speed of this GW can be scrutinized by…
Recently, aLIGO has announced the first direct detections of gravitational waves, a direct manifestation of the propagating degrees of freedom of gravity. The detected signals GW150914 and GW151226 have been used to examine the basic…
Recent advances in noncommutative geometry and string theory have stimulated increasing research on noncommutative gravity. The detection of gravitational waves~(GW) opens a new window for testing this theory using observed data. In…
Theories of modified gravity suggest that the propagation speed of gravitational wave (GW) $v_g$ may deviate from the speed of light $c$. A constraint can be placed on the difference between $c$ and $v_g$ with a simple method that uses the…
Observations by laser interferometric detectors of gravitational waves from inspiraling compact binary systems can be used to search for a dependence of the waves' propagation speed on wavelength, and thereby to bound the mass or Compton…
Under the assumptions of General Relativity (GR), gravitational waves propagate at the speed of light and their mediation can be represented as a particle through a massless graviton. We investigate the impact and observability of the…
In this paper we use the Newtonian gravitational potential corrected by non-liner effects to obtain new bounds on graviton mass using non-linear density wave theory (NLDW). This potential differs from the gravitational potential obtained in…
We investigate possible signatures of quantum gravity which could be tested with current and future gravitational-wave (GW) observations. In particular, we analyze how quantum gravity can influence the GW luminosity distance, the time…
We consider the massive graviton phenomenological model based on the graviton's dispersion terms included into phase of gravitational wave's waveform. Such model was already considered in many works but it was based on a single…
In Einstein's general relativity, gravity is mediated by a massless spin-2 metric field, and its extension to include a mass for the graviton has profound implication for gravitation and cosmology. In 2002, Finn and Sutton used the…
Recently LIGO collaboration discovered gravitational waves \cite{Abbott_16} predicted 100 years ago by A. Einstein. Moreover, in the key paper reporting about the discovery, the joint LIGO \& VIRGO team presented an upper limit on graviton…
The advent of gravitational wave astronomy provides new proving grounds for testing theories of gravity. Recent work has reinvigorated the study of bimetric theories of gravity and massive gravity theories. One of the most interesting…
We investigate the new observational constraints on $f(T)$ gravity that arise from the effects of primordial gravitational waves (GWs) on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies and the BB spectrum. We first show that on the GWs…
We propose a method to constrain the variation of the gravitational constant $G$ with cosmic time using gravitational-wave (GW) observations of merging binary neutron stars. The method essentially relies on the fact that the maximum and…
We show from theoretical considerations, that if the graviton is massive, its mass is constrained to be about $10^{-32}~eV/c^2$. This estimate is consistent with those obtained from experiments, including the recent gravitational wave…
We revisit the decay of the orbital period in binary systems that occurs due to the emission of gravitational waves in the context of modified gravity models where the coupling $G_{gw}$ between matter and on-shell gravitons is allowed to…
In this work, analyzing the propagation of electromagnetic waves in the field of gravitational waves, we show the presence and significance of the so called surfing effect for pulsar timing measurements. It is shown that, due to the…
Gravitational waves can probe fundamental physics, leading to new constraints on the mass of the graviton. Previous tests, however, have neglected the effect of screening, which is typically present in modified theories that predict a…
