Erratum: Tests of General Relativity with GW150914 [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 221101 (2016)]

Figure 1

This is the corrected Fig. 6 of [2], comparing the 90% upper bounds on PN parameter deviations from GR obtained from the double pulsar PSR J0737-3039 [22, 23] to those obtained from the first gravitational wave GW150914.

Figure 2

This is the corrected Fig. 7 of [2], summarizing in a violin plot the posterior probability density distributions for all of the parameters in the GIMR model. The error bars indicate the 90% credible regions. The leftmost posteriors, labeled from 0 to 3.5 PN, are for the early-inspiral PN regime; the ${\beta }_i$ and $\alpha$ parameters correspond to the intermediate and merger-ringdown regimes. In red, we show posterior probability distributions for the single-parameter analysis, while in cyan we show the posterior distribution for the multiple-parameter analysis. The corrected posterior for the 0.5 PN single-parameter analysis peaks below zero, while previously reported to peak above; the posterior is still consistent with GR. The corrected multiple-parameter analysis no longer shows the erroneous special behavior for the 0.5 PN term. The black error bar at 0 PN shows the bound inferred from the double pulsar.
