We study the imprint of light scalar fields on gravitational waves from extreme mass-ratio inspirals—binary systems with a very large mass asymmetry. We first show that, to leading order in the mass ratio, any effects of the scalar on the waveform ar... Read More about Detecting Massive Scalar Fields with Extreme Mass-Ratio Inspirals.
