Tests of General Relativity with gravitational waves from compact binary coalescences with Advanced LIGO

Gravitational waves from compact binary systems provide access to the hitherto unexplored non-linear regime of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The Advanced LIGO first observing run successfully achieved a sensitivity a few times better than the initial generation of interferometers in the hundred hertz frequency band. In this talk, I will describe the methods devised to verify the predictions of general relativity in the Advanced Detector era.
