SHAO Astrophysics Colloquium

Title: Gravitational waves and testing of gravity

Speaker: Wen zhao  (University of science and technology of China)

Time: 3:00 pm, Jan. 02th (Thursday)

Location: Lecture Hall, 3rd floor

Abstract: 

In this report, we introduce the basic principle and current situation of strong field test of general relativity by gravitational wave. The report is divided into three parts, the first part briefly introduces the theory of gravity and its test method; the second part introduces the characteristics of gravitational waves in various gravitational theories; the third part introduces how to use gravitational wave detection to test the model independence of gravitational theory.
