Description:
Author(s): Claudia de Rham, J. Tate Deskins, Andrew J. Tolley, and Shuang-Yong Zhou If gravitation propagates via a massive field, the velocity of gravitational waves (gravitons) depends on their frequency. Gravitational waves emitted early during the inspiral of compact binaries would travel slower than those emitted later, causing an offset in relative arrival times. This review utilizes the first direct detections of gravitons from two inspiraling black holes for setting an upper mass bound, examines it within the framework of massive gravity theories, and compares to observational bounds obtained from other related effects.
