When two black holes merge, the late stage of gravitational wave emission is a superposition of exponentially damped sinusoids. According to the black hole no-hair theorem, this ringdown spectrum depends only on the mass and angular momentum of the final black hole. An observation of more than one ringdown mode can test this fundamental prediction of general relativity.Here we provide strong observational evidence for a multimode black hole ringdown spectrum using the gravitational wave event GW190521, with a Bayes factor of ∼ 40 preferring two fundamental modes over one. The dominant mode is the = m = 2 harmonic, and the sub-dominant mode corresponds to the = m = 3 harmonic. We estimate the redshifted mass and dimensionless spin of the final black hole as 330 +30−40 M and 0.87 +0.05 −0.10 , respectively. The detection of the two modes disfavors a binary progenitor with equal masses; the mass ratio is constrained to 0.4 +0.2 −0.3 . We find that the final black hole is consistent with the no hair theorem and constrain the fractional deviation from general relativity of the sub-dominant mode's frequency to be −0.01 +0.07 −0.11 .

“…We exclude the GW events of binary neutron star or possible binary neutron star-black hole merges, since these events are not expected to improve the constraint on M PV drastically. The data of these 46 GW events are downloaded from Gravitational Wave Open Science Center [73]. Besides strain data, power spectral densities (PSDs) are also needed for parameter estimation.…”

The discovery of gravitational waves (GWs) from the compact binary components by LIGO/Virgo Collaboration provides an unprecedented opportunity for testing gravity in the strong and highlydynamical field regime of gravity. Currently a lot of model-independent tests have been performed by LIGO/Virgo Collaboration and no any significant derivation from general relativity has been found. In this paper, we study the parity violating effects on the propagation of GWs in the Nieh-Yan modified teleparallel gravity, a theory which modifies general relativity by a parity violating Nieh-Yan term. We calculate the corresponding parity violating waveform of GWs produced by the coalescence of compact binaries. By comparing the two circular polarization modes, we find the effects of the velocity birefringence of GWs in their propagation caused by the parity violation due to the Nieh-Yan term, which are explicitly presented in the GW waveforms by the phase modification. With such phase modifications to the waveform, we perform the full Bayesian inference with the help of the open source software Bilby on the GW events of binary black hole merges (BBH) in the LIGO-Virgo catalogs GWTC-1 and GWTC-2. We do not find any significant evidence of parity violation due to the parity violating Nieh-Yan term and thus place an upper bound a on the energy scale MPV < 6.5 × 10 −42 GeV at 90% confidence level, which represents the first constraint on the Nieh-Yan modified teleparallel gravity so far.

We study the evolution of the binary black hole (BBH) mass distribution across cosmic time. The second gravitational-wave transient catalog (GWTC-2) from LIGO/Virgo contains BBH events out to redshifts z ∼ 1, with component masses in the range ∼ 5-80 M . In this catalog, the biggest black holes, with m 1 45 M , are only found at the highest redshifts, z 0.4. We ask whether the absence of high-mass BBH observations at low redshift indicates that the astrophysical BBH mass distribution evolves: the biggest BBHs only merge at high redshift, and cease merging at low redshift. Alternatively, this feature might be explained by gravitational-wave selection effects. Modeling the BBH primary mass spectrum as a power law with a sharp maximum mass cutoff (Truncated model), we find that the cutoff increases with redshift (> 99.9% credibility). An abrupt cutoff in the mass spectrum is expected from (pulsational) pair instability supernova simulations; however, GWTC-2 is only consistent with a Truncated mass model if the location of the cutoff increases from 45 +13 −5 M at z < 0.4 to 80 +16−13 M at z > 0.4. Alternatively, if the primary mass spectrum has a break in the power law (Broken Power Law ) at 38 +15 −8 M , rather than a sharp cutoff, the data are consistent with a non-evolving mass distribution. In this case the overall rate of mergers, at all masses, increases with increasing redshift. Future observations will confidently distinguish between a sharp maximum mass cutoff that evolves with redshift and a non-evolving mass distribution with a gradual taper, such as a Broken Power Law. After ∼ 100 BBH merger observations, a continued absence of high-mass, low-redshift events would provide a clear signature that the mass distribution evolves with redshift.
