The nature of gravitational waves in a generalized gravitation theory is investigated. The linearized field equations and the metric tensor quadrupole moment power and the decrease in radius of an inspiralling binary system of two compact objects are derived. The generalized Kerr metric describing a spinning black hole is determined by its mass $M$ and the spin parameter $a=cS/GM^2$. The LIGO-Virgo collaboration data is fitted with smaller binary black hole masses in agreement with the current electromagnetic, observed X-ray binary upper bound for a black hole mass, $M\lesssim 10M_\odot$.

  1. Breathing Black Hole Shadows in Modified Gravity (MOG)

    gr-qc 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    In MOG gravity, gravitational waves would make a black hole's shadow breathe in area and then wobble translationally after a time delay, signatures absent in general relativity.
