Extracting Physics from Gravitational Waves Testing the Strong-field Dynamics of General Relativity and Inferring the Large-scale Structure of the Universe /

Tjonnie Li's thesis covers two applications of Gravitational Wave astronomy: tests of General Relativity in the strong-field regime and cosmological measurements. The first part of the thesis focuses on the so-called TIGER, i.e. Test Infrastructure for General Relativity, an innovative Bayesian...
