Testing the anisotropy of the universe using the simulated gravitational wave events from advanced LIGO and Virgo

Abstract The detection of gravitational waves (GWs) provides a powerful tool to constrain the cosmological parameters. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of using GWs as standard sirens in testing the anisotropy of the universe. We consider the GW signals produced by the coalescence of bi...
