1. Lack of consideration of the angular patterns of non-tensorial radiation. -> Re-analysis of pure polarization search in the improved framework.

2. Almost all metric theories of gravity predict the mixed polarization modes. -> Mixed scalar-tensor polarization search. 6 1. Pure polarization search

arXiv:2010.14538 Radiation patterns - Re-analyze pure polarization modes considering the angular patterns of radiation. - Inclination angle dependence is determined by the geometry of the system in general.

We impose the priors on - (α, δ, dL) from the host NGC4993.

log BTV = 21.078

log BTS = 44.544

We obtain the improved Bayes factors supporting GR.

10 Result: GW170817(BNS) - In addition, we impose the jet prior on the inclination angle (from the constraint of the observational angle by the burst GRB170817A.)
