Tests of General Relativity with GW230529: a neutron star merging with a lower mass-gap compact object
Pith reviewed 2026-05-23 23:56 UTC · model grok-4.3
The pith
The GW230529 neutron-star merger signal is consistent with general relativity and tightens the bound on dipole radiation by a factor of 17.
A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.
Core claim
The signal is consistent with GR for all deviation parameters. Assuming the primary is a black hole yields |δφ̂_{-2}| ≲ 8×10^{-5} (∼17× tighter than GW200115) and, in ESGB, ℓ_GB ≲ 0.51 M_⊙.
What carries the argument
Agnostic corrections to post-Newtonian phase coefficients, implemented through the FIT and TIGER frameworks on quasicircular waveform models that include higher modes, spins, and tides.
If this is right
- The -1PN dipole bound is now seventeen times stronger than the limit from GW200115.
- The 0.5PN and 1PN deviation parameters also receive improved constraints from this event.
- Mapping the agnostic -1PN result produces an upper limit ℓ_GB ≲ 0.51 M_⊙ on the Gauss-Bonnet coupling, tighter than prior constraints.
- The analysis explicitly identifies tidal correlations and 0PN-chirp-mass degeneracy as sources of potential bias in future tests.
Where Pith is reading between the lines
- Future tests will need waveform models that jointly vary tides and deviation parameters to reduce the reported correlations.
- The chirp-mass degeneracy implies that independent mass measurements from electromagnetic counterparts could sharpen 0PN tests.
- The improved bound on dipole radiation suggests that additional neutron-star–mass-gap events will further restrict scalar-tensor and other modified-gravity scenarios.
Load-bearing premise
Any non-GR effects appear only as corrections to the post-Newtonian phase coefficients, and the chosen waveform models capture the signal without introducing biases that mimic or mask deviations.
What would settle it
A statistically significant detection of |δφ̂_{-2}| larger than 8×10^{-5} in a future similar event with comparable signal-to-noise ratio would contradict the consistency reported here.

On May 29, 2023, the LIGO Livingston observatory detected the gravitational-wave signal GW230529_181500 from the merger of a neutron star with a lower mass-gap compact object. Its long inspiral signal provides a unique opportunity to test general relativity (GR) in a parameter space previously unexplored by strong-field tests. In this work, we performed parameterized inspiral tests of GR with GW230529_181500. Specifically, we search for deviations in the frequency-domain GW phase by allowing for agnostic corrections to the post-Newtonian coefficients. We performed tests with the Flexible Theory Independent and Test Infrastructure For General Relativity frameworks using several quasicircular waveform models that capture different physical effects (higher modes, spins, tides). We find that the signal is consistent with GR for all deviation parameters. Assuming the primary object is a black hole, we obtain particularly tight constraints on the dipole radiation at $-1$PN order of $|\delta\hat{\varphi}_{-2}| \lesssim 8 \times 10^{-5}$, which is a factor $\sim17$ times more stringent than previous bounds from the neutron star--black hole merger GW200115_042309, as well as on the 0.5PN and 1PN deviation parameters. We discuss some challenges that arise when analyzing this signal, namely biases due to correlations with tidal effects and the degeneracy between the 0PN deviation parameter and the chirp mass. To illustrate the importance of GW230529_181500 for tests of GR, we mapped the agnostic $-1$PN results to a class of Einstein-scalar-Gauss-Bonnet (ESGB) theories of gravity. We also conducted an analysis probing the specific phase deviation expected in ESGB theory and obtain an upper bound on the Gauss-Bonnet coupling of $\ell_{\rm GB} \lesssim 0.51~\rm{M}_\odot$ ($\sqrt{\alpha_{\rm GB}} \lesssim 0.28$ km), which is better than any previously reported constraint.

Referee Report
Summary. The paper analyzes the GW230529 signal from a neutron star–lower mass-gap compact object merger using parameterized post-Newtonian tests of GR. It fits agnostic deviations to the inspiral phase coefficients (δφ̂_k for k = −2, −1, 0, 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2) with multiple quasicircular waveform models that include higher modes, spins, and tides, reports consistency with GR, obtains |δφ̂_{-2}| ≲ 8×10^{-5} (∼17× tighter than GW200115) assuming the primary is a black hole, and maps the −1PN result to an ESGB bound ℓ_GB ≲ 0.51 M_⊙.
Significance. If the reported bounds remain stable after the acknowledged tidal correlations and 0PN–chirp-mass degeneracy are fully quantified, the result would supply the tightest inspiral-phase constraint on dipole radiation from any single event and the strongest ESGB coupling limit to date, demonstrating the value of long-inspiral NS–BH signals for strong-field tests.
major comments (2)
- [Abstract and discussion of challenges] Abstract and the section discussing challenges: the headline bounds on δφ̂_{-2} and the ESGB mapping are presented without a quantitative demonstration that the limits are stable when tidal parameters are varied or when the 0PN term is marginalized differently from chirp mass; the text explicitly flags both effects as potential biases yet reports the numerical limits without showing the shift under those variations.
- [ESGB mapping paragraph] The ESGB mapping paragraph: the ℓ_GB bound is obtained by mapping the agnostic −1PN posterior through an external phase-correction formula rather than by fitting the theory-specific waveform directly to the data; while this is a valid post-processing step, the paper does not propagate the full posterior covariance or the noted degeneracies through the mapping, leaving the quoted ℓ_GB ≲ 0.51 M_⊙ without an associated systematic uncertainty.
minor comments (2)
- [Abstract] The abstract states the signal is 'consistent with GR for all deviation parameters' but does not specify the exact credible-interval thresholds used to reach that conclusion; adding a brief statement of the criterion would improve clarity.
- [Tables/figures] Table or figure captions listing the waveform models should explicitly note which models include tidal effects and which do not, to allow readers to trace the impact of the flagged tidal correlations.

Referee: [Abstract and discussion of challenges] Abstract and the section discussing challenges: the headline bounds on δφ̂_{-2} and the ESGB mapping are presented without a quantitative demonstration that the limits are stable when tidal parameters are varied or when the 0PN term is marginalized differently from chirp mass; the text explicitly flags both effects as potential biases yet reports the numerical limits without showing the shift under those variations.
Authors: The manuscript explicitly discusses these potential biases in the challenges section and employs multiple waveform models that incorporate tidal effects. The reported bounds on δφ̂_{-2} are shown to be consistent across these models, including those with higher modes and tides. While we did not include explicit quantitative shifts for all variations in the original text, the primary results already marginalize over tidal parameters. To provide the requested demonstration, we will add supplementary material or a dedicated subsection quantifying the stability of the key bounds under tidal variations and alternative 0PN marginalization choices. revision: yes

Referee: [ESGB mapping paragraph] The ESGB mapping paragraph: the ℓ_GB bound is obtained by mapping the agnostic −1PN posterior through an external phase-correction formula rather than by fitting the theory-specific waveform directly to the data; while this is a valid post-processing step, the paper does not propagate the full posterior covariance or the noted degeneracies through the mapping, leaving the quoted ℓ_GB ≲ 0.51 M_⊙ without an associated systematic uncertainty.
Authors: The manuscript reports both the post-processing mapping of the agnostic −1PN posterior and a separate direct analysis that fits the specific ESGB phase deviation to the data, with the quoted bound obtained consistently from the latter. The direct fit inherently includes the full posterior and degeneracies. For the mapping step, we agree that explicit propagation of covariance would add rigor; we will revise the relevant paragraph to distinguish the two approaches clearly, emphasize the direct-fit result as the primary constraint, and include a brief estimate of associated systematic effects where feasible. revision: partial
Circularity Check
No significant circularity; deviation parameters fitted directly to data
full rationale
The paper fits agnostic PN deviation parameters directly to the GW230529 signal using standard frameworks and multiple waveform models. The resulting bounds (including the ESGB mapping from the -1PN result) are obtained from this fit or from an external theory-specific phase correction; neither step reduces by construction to a self-definition, a fitted input renamed as prediction, or a load-bearing self-citation chain. The analysis is self-contained against external benchmarks with no invoked uniqueness theorems or ansatze smuggled via prior author work.
