Strong constraints on cosmological gravity from GW170817 and GRB 170817A

Strong constraints on cosmological gravity from GW170817 and GRB 170817A

The detection of an electromagnetic counterpart (GRB 170817A) to the gravitational wave signal (GW170817) from the merger of two neutron stars opens a completely new arena for testing theories of gravity. We show that this measurement allows us to place stringent constraints on general scalar-tensor...
