In Figs 6 and 7 of the second paper you can see the constraints from GW150914 on what are known as the &amp;quot;post-Newtonian&amp;quot; expansion terms of Newtonian gravity. Previously, terms beyond first order were only loosed bound, mostly from observations of the Double Pulsar system J0737-3039. Just from this one event, we can also constrain the mass of the graviton to an order of…&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://hackerpaper.kaipfister.de/p/1602.03841/"&gt;Paper and discussion history&lt;/a&gt;.
