Limitations on Standard Sirens tests of gravity from screening

Dalang, Charles, Lombriser, Lucas

Understand

Modified gravity theories with an effective Newton constant that varies over cosmological timescales generally predict a different gravitational wave luminosity distance than General Relativity.

While this holds for a uniform variation, we show that if locally screened at the source and at the observer as required to pass stringent astrophysical tests of gravity, the General Relativistic distance is restored.
In the absence of such a screening, the same effect must modify electromagnetic luminosity distances inferred from supernovae Type Ia, to the extent that the effects can cancel in the comparison.
Hence, either the modifications considered employ screening, which leaves no signature in Standard Sirens of a cosmological modification of gravity, or screening does not operate, in which case there can be a signal that is however well below the forseeable sensitivity of the probe when astrophysical bounds are employed.
