abstract

We consider the massive graviton phenomenological model based on the graviton's dispersion terms included into phase of gravitational wave's waveform. Such model was already considered in many works but it was based on a single leading-order dispersion term only. Here we derive a relation between relativistic gravitons emission and absorption time intervals computed up to ${\cal O}(\gamma^{-6})$, where $\gamma$ is the Lorentz factor. Including the dispersion terms into the phase of gravitational wave's waveform results in two non-GR parameters of the $1^{st}$ and the $-2^{nd}$ post-Newtonian orders whose posteriors are used to put a constraint on the graviton's rest mass. We use the TaylorF2 waveform model to analyse the event GW170817 and report the following $95\%$-confidence upper bounds on the graviton's rest mass: $m^{Low\,Spin}_{g}\leq1.305\times10^{-54}$g and $m^{High\,Spin}_{g}\leq2.996\times10^{-54}$g for the high and low spin priors.

  1. Constraint on gravitational-wave polarizations for space-based detectors with time-delay interferometry

    gr-qc 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using second-generation TDI, constraints on extra GW polarizations are weaker than tensor-mode constraints, and TDI degrades tensor constraints while improving relative sensitivity to vector and scalar modes.
