Dark Energy in Light of Multi-Messenger Gravitational-Wave Astronomy [PDF]
Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences, 2018 Gravitational waves (GWs) provide a new tool to probe the nature of dark energy (DE) and the fundamental properties of gravity. We review the different ways in which GWs can be used to test gravity and models for late-time cosmic acceleration. Lagrangian-
