Gravitational wave luminosity distance for Starobinsky gravity in viscous cosmological models by Jia-nan Chi, Ya-Bo Wu, Yu Sang, Xue Zhang, Yi-liang Hu, Wen-zhong Liu, Bo-hai Chen

“…Concretely, on the basis of the propagation equation of the metric perturbation derived by using transverse-traceless gauge for the linear perturbation of the metric in FRW background, we obtain the analytical expressions of the modified friction term $$\delta (z)$$ δ ( z ) and the ratio $$d_L^{GW}(z)/d_L^{EM}(z)$$ d L GW ( z ) / d L EM ( z ) of GW to electromagnetic (EM) wave luminosity distance, and find that they only depend on the SG model parameter $$\alpha $$ α and the shear viscous coefficient $$\eta $$ η , regardless of the bulk viscous coefficient $$\zeta $$ ζ . Evidently, both of them are affected by $$\alpha $$ α and $$\eta $$ η . …”
