| Cosmology and fundamental physics from compact binary coalescences detected by the LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA collaboration |
| Speaker: | Dr Simone Mastrogiovanni (INFN Rome) |
| Abstract: | The Universe expansion is one of the most puzzling open problems in modern cosmology. For over 20 years, measurements of the Universe expansion rate from close-by and far sources are in tension hinting for the presence of new physics at cosmological scales. Our struggle to corroborate the presence of new physics is due to the difficulty of observing cosmological sources for which the distance is known without the need of a cosmological ladder. However, a new player entered the cosmological match in 2015: Gravitational Waves (GWs) from compact binary coalescences (CBCs). CBCs are Standard Sirens, they are the only known cosmological source for which it is possible to directly measure the luminosity distance from their GW emission. Unfortunately, the GW do not provide the other ingredient to measure the Universe expansion: the redshift. Starting from the first multi-messenger observation o |
