P-34 The New Era of Gravitational Wave Astronomy
, 2016 On September 14, 2016 the LIGO detectors measured gravitational waves for the first time. With this and subsequent detections, the era of gravitational wave astronomy has begun.

A Search for Extra Polarizations Using a Gaussian Process in Gravitational-wave Transient Catalog 3
The Astrophysical JournalGeneral relativity predicts that gravitational waves are described by two polarization states: the plus + state and cross × state. However, alternate theories of gravity allow up to six polarizations.

Lighthouses of Gravitational Wave Astronomy [PDF]
, 2006 Gravitational wave detectors capable of making astronomical observations could begin to operate within the next year, and over the next 10 years they will extend their reach out to cosmological distances, culminating in the space mission LISA. A prime target of these observatories will be binary systems, especially those whose orbits shrink measurably ...

Gravitational wave Astronomy: Astronomy of the 21st Century [PDF]
, 2011 An enigmatic prediction of Einstein's general theory of relativity is gravitational waves. With the observed decay in the orbit of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar agreeing within a fraction of a percent with the theoretically computed decay from Einstein ...

Examining the Gap in the Chirp Mass Distribution of Binary Black Holes
The Astrophysical JournalThe mass distribution of binary black holes inferred from gravitational-wave measurements is expected to shed light on their formation mechanisms. An emerging structure in the mass distribution indicates the presence of multiple peaks around chirp masses

Optical Appearance of Eccentric Tidal Disruption Events
The Astrophysical Journal LettersStars approaching supermassive black holes can be tidally disrupted. Despite being expected to emit X-rays, tidal disruption events (TDEs) have been largely observed in optical bands, which is poorly understood.

Machine Learning for the Characterization of Gravitational Wave Data
, 2022 The low-latency characterization of detector noise is a crucial step in the detection of gravitational waves. In particular, a rapid classification and identification of transient noise sources, usually referred to as glitches, is very important when ...

Gravitational wave detectors on the earth
, 2010 Since the pioneering work of Joseph Weber, the quest for the detection of gravitational waves has progressed at higher and higher levels of ingenuity and effort. Here we briefly outline the historical path followed during the development of the detectors
