Multiparameter tests of general relativity using multiband gravitational-wave observations
ORAL
Abstract
In this talk we will demonstrate that multiband observations of stellar-mass binary black holes by the next generation of ground-based observatories (3G) and the space-based Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) would facilitate a comprehensive test of general relativity by simultaneously measuring all the post-Newtonian (PN) coefficients. Multiband observations would measure most of the known PN phasing coefficients to an accuracy below a few percent—two orders-of-magnitude better than the best bounds achievable from even ‘golden’ binaries in the 3G or LISA bands. Such multi-parameter bounds would play a pivotal role in constraining the parameter space of modified theories of gravity beyond general relativity
