GW170817:爱因斯坦对了吗?

GW170817: was Einstein right?

  • 摘要: 来自双中子星并合的引力波事件GW170817和伴随的电磁波段的观测,是天文学研究上的一个重要突破。它不仅带给人类史无前例的关于中子星、伽马暴、千新星的知识,也提供了一个检验强场引力的极端天体实验室。爱因斯坦的广义相对论在不同的方面得到了全新的检验,包括引力的速度、引力子的质量、时空的对称性、引力波的辐射和偏振等。这些检验在更高的精度与更广的视角上肯定了广义相对论的预言。

     

    Abstract: The discovery of the binary neutron star inspiral GW170817 was one of the most important events in astronomy. It not only brought us unprecedented knowledge about neutron stars, gamma-ray bursts, kilonovae and the astrophysical environment, but also provided a novel testbed for strong-field gravity. Many distinct aspects of Einstein's general relativity have been tested, including the speed of gravity, the mass of the graviton, the symmetry of spacetime, and the radiation and polarization modes of gravitational waves. No deviation from general relativity has been found.
