Description

The gravitational wave observations of the inspiral, merger, and
ringdown of binary black hole coalescence are a powerful tool to test
GR. It can probe for example the presence of additional polarizations,
additional channels for energy emission, and deviations from the Kerr
black hole quasinormal mode spectrum. Based on numerical relativity
simulations in modified gravity, we will discuss the prospects and the
limitations of testing strong gravity with present and future black
hole merger observations with LISA.
