Probing gravitational parity violation with compact binaries — •Hector O. Silva and Jan Steinhoff — Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute), Am Mühlenberg 1, 14476 Potsdam, Germany

The detection of gravitational-waves signals produced by the inspiral and coalescence of compact binaries have opened a new vista into the nonlinear, highly dynamical regime of gravity. These observations have allowed us to perform new tests of general relativity and also to probe (or constrain) modifications to Einstein's theory. In this work, we report on an ongoing effort to study the effects of higher-curvature parity violating modifications to general relativity on the inspiral of compact binaries with the goal of possibly placing (or forecasting) constraints on parity violation in gravity with present or future gravitational wave observatories.
