QNMs in ringdown phase in modified gravity (MOG) CONTENTS LIGO/VIRGO data analysis of black hole merger gravitational wave detection QNMs in ringdown phase in modified gravity (MOG) Neutron star merger event 170817/170817A and speed of gravitational waves 2/24/2019

LIGO/VIRGO Gravitational Wave Data Analysis (M. A LIGO/VIRGO Gravitational Wave Data Analysis (M. A. Green and JWM, arXiv 1711.00347) The aLIGO/VIRGO observatories have reported 7 gravitational wave detection events: GW150914, LVT151012, GW151226, GW170104, GW170608, GW170814, GW170817/GRB170817A (LIGO/Virgo collaboration publications). The first 6 events are black hole mergers and the last one is a neutron star merger. We have analyzed the 4 events GW150914, LVT151012, GW151226, GW170104. The likelihood that GW150914, GW151226, GW170104 are false-positive detections is For LVT151012 the false detection alarm rate is The gravitational waves for the 6 events were produced by the merging of two black holes. In each case, similar signals were detected at the Hanford, Washington, and Livingston, Louisiana, sites, with a time offset less than the 10 ms inter-site light travel time. 2/24/2019

GW150914 had a sufficiently strong signal to stand out above the noise after removing the spectral peaks and the band-passing filtering. For the other events, primary signal detection required the use of matched filters, in which the measured strain records are cross correlated with template records derived from post-Newtonian and numerical general relativity calculations. A template independent search for gravitational wave bursts also identified GW170104, but with lower significance. Avoiding dependence on the template, the waveform for GW150914 was reconstructed from the data using two different methods, both based on wavelets. Cresswell et al. (J. Cresswell, S. von Hausegger, A.D. Jackson, H. Liu, and P. Naselsky, JCAP, 8, 013 (2017), arXiv:1706.04191 [asto-ph.IM]) have independently analyzed the data for GW150914, GW151226 and GW170104. 2/24/2019

The present work presents a new way to extract signal wave forms from the noisy strain from black hole binary coalescence events data provided by the LIGO Open Science Center (LOSC). In contrast with the match-filter and wavelets methods, which excel at signal detection, our objective is to use a time frequency banding technique to distinguish the detection signal from the concurrent noise. In the case of GW150914 the extraction can be done with no use of templates. For the other three events, the method relies on the (approximate) signal event times given by LOSC and the broad, time dependent, features of the spectral features of the black hole coalescence templates. However, our waveform extraction method does not use the templates’ phase information – all phase information is obtained directly from the recorded data. 2/24/2019

It has been argued by the Copenhagen group (Cresswell et al It has been argued by the Copenhagen group (Cresswell et al. 2017) that, for GW150914, GW151226 and GW170104, cross correlations of the residuals for Hanford and Livingston have peaks corresponding to the time offsets (~ 6.9 ms). This was cited as support for the claim “A clear distinction between signal and noise therefore remains to be established in order to determine the contribution of gravitational waves to the detected signals.” We argue that apparent failure to use appropriate window functions casts doubt on the Copenhagen group conclusions. Our results indicate, nonetheless, that correlations of residuals occur but the origin of these contributions is not detector noise. They arise because the true signal is not identical to the template and the difference will be included in the residuals. The data for the first event GW150914 confirm that a gravitational wave signal has been detected. The gravitational wave signals for the remaining 3 events analyzed are weaker but they are strong enough to confirm gravitational wave detection. 2/24/2019

Modified Gravity (MOG) Black Holes and Quasinormal Modes (L Modified Gravity (MOG) Black Holes and Quasinormal Modes (L. Manfredi, J. Mureika and JWM, to be published in Phys. Lett. B, arXiv:1711.03199). We investigate binary compact mergers and ringdown phases in the detection of gravitational waves in GR and the modified gravity (MOG), known as Scalar-Tensor-Vector (STVG) gravity (JWM, JCAP, 0603, 004 (2006), arXiv:gr-qc/0506021. The theory has been studied as an alternative to GR without detectable dark matter in the present universe and fits galaxy rotation curves, clusters and early universe structure growth and the CMB data (JWM and S. Rahvar, MNRAS 436, 1439 (2013), arXiv:1306.6383; JWM and S. Rahvar, MNRAS, 441, 3724 (2014), arXiv:1309.5077; F. Shoai, S. Cheraghchi and H. Bouzari Nezhad, Phys. Lett.

The quasinormal modes (QNMs) in the ringdown phase of the merging black holes are calculated for gravitational and electromagnetic perturbations for a Schwarzschild - MOG black hole. It is found that for the increasing MOG parameter α, both the real and imaginary parts of the QNMs decrease compared to those calculated for the standard Schwarzschild black hole. On the other hand, taking into account the rescaling of the mass for GM due to G=GN(1 + α) in MOG, Im (ω) matches almost identically that of GR, while Re(ω) is higher. The ongoing discovery of aLIGO/VIRGO gravitational events due to the coalescence of compact binary objects can be used to test the strong field ringdown predictions of GR and MOG.

Neutron Star Merger Event GW170817/GRB170817A (M. A. Green, JWM and V Neutron Star Merger Event GW170817/GRB170817A (M. A. Green, JWM and V. T. Toth, arXiv:1710.11177) The LIGO/VIRGO detection of a neutron star merger event GW170817/GRB170817A and the identification of the event with a Gamma Ray Burster event occurring in the galaxy NGC 4993 has dramatically heralded a multimessenger era of astronomy. An important observational result is the arrival at the earth detector of gravitational waves (gravitons) and electromagnetic waves (photons) within 1.7 seconds. This means that (speed grav waves)/(speed EM waves) – 1 ~ 10-16 . 2/24/2019

The nearly simultaneous detection of gravitational wave and electromagnetic signals from the neutron star merger imposes stringent limits on violation of the weak equivalence principle (WEP) and on gravitational Cherenkov energy loss. This rules out, or severely constrains, many modified gravity theories – scalar-tensor, vector-tensor and bimetric – that have been proposed to avoid dark matter and/or dark energy. The problem with all the relativistic extensions of Milgrom’s MOND, published to-date, is that they are based on a disformal bimetric geometry. The speed of light is subluminal causing photons and gravitons to move along different trajectories. This causes problems with Cherenkov radiation and contradictions with cosmic rays and the GW170817/GRB170817A data. Since all the current relativistic extensions of MOND are ruled out, the nonrelativistic MOND model seems left in an untenable position. Other more complicated Horndeski scalar-tensor theories are also eliminated by the new WEP constraints. 2/24/2019

The MOG theory is based on three gravitational fields (degrees of freedom): (1) the Einstein metric corresponding, in particle physics language, to a spin 2 massless graviton, (2) a scalar field corresponding to a spin 0 massless graviton, (3) a vector field corresponding to a spin 1 (repulsive) massive graviton. There is an effective spin 0 scalar field - the mass of the vector field . The gravitational charge of the vector field is: where The MOG equation of motion of a test particle with mass m > 0 is (a derivation of the equation of motion was obtain from the field equations: M. Roshan, Phys. Rev. D87:044005 (2013), arXiv:1210.3136): This equation of motion satisfies the WEP but massive test particles do not free fall on geodesics. 2/24/2019

MOG has only one metric and massless particles (gravitons and photons) move along null geodesics: In contrast to TeVeS type theories, MOG has only one metric and photons and gravitons move along the same null geodesic path, as in GR, and they will arrive at a destination at the same time. Since the theory is based on an action (Lagrangian), the field equations are generally covariant and locally Lorentz invariant, and the MOG vector field is not a classical time-like unit vector as in TeVeS type theories. The Jordan-Brans-Dicke scalar-tensor sector of MOG does not contradict the GW170817/GRB170817A data at the cosmological scale for constant/slowly varying G. At this stage, it appears that the fully covariant, relativistic modified gravity (MOG) can eliminate the need for dark matter in the present universe and be consistent with astrophysical and cosmological data and the neutron star merger data. 2/24/2019 END
