Different aspects of the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave direct detections
- Abstract:
The aim of this course is to present different aspects of the gravitational-wave detections that the LIGO and Virgo detectors have made in the last 4 years. Using the publications by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration, we will provide answers to the following questions: what exactly has been observed? what are the sources? how is the LIGO-Virgo data analysed? how do the LIGO-Virgo detectors work? what are the implications of these discovery for general relativity and cosmology? what are the future prospects for this field? And finally, what complementary science will be done with the future LISA detector?
A basic knowledge of General Relativity is required.
The courses will be delivered in english.
