Testing general relativity with gravitational-wave catalogs: The insidious nature of waveform systematics
Summary: Gravitational-wave observations of binary black holes allow new tests of general relativity (GR) to be performed on strong, dynamical gravitational fields. These tests require accurate waveform models of the gravitational-wave signal; otherwise waveform errors can erroneously suggest eviden...
