Abstract
Recently, several studies have investigated the validity of General Relativity’s predictions. Gravitational waves provide an ideal probe for testing the theory in the strong field regime. In this work, we consider a class of modified-gravity theories, specifically f(R), and scrutinize their predictions for the gravitational-wave emission from the coalescence of two astrophysical compact objects. We also assess the impact of next-generation gravitational-wave detectors on the ability to test these extensions of General Relativity.
