| Erwin Schrödinger Lecture "Gravitational Wave Astronomy: Recent Results and Challenges for the Future" |
| Speaker: | Sascha Husa (Universitat de les Balears) |
| Abstract: | In this talk I will first summarize recent observations of gravitational wave events that are consistent with mergers of binary systems of black holes and of neutron stars, and discuss what we have learned so far from gravitational wave observations, and what we hope to learn in the future, regarding astrophysics and fundamental physics. I will then discuss the current plans for future ground and space based gravitational wave observatories, and the theoretical and
computational challenges that need to be overcome in order to best interpret the data that such detectors will record. |
