Grab it Explore the fascinating world of gravitational wave research in this 56-minute lecture by Dr. Henning Fehrmann from the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics. Delve into the routine observations of black hole-black hole (BBH), neutron star-black hole (NSBH), and neutron star-neutron star (BNS) mergers, while understanding the ongoing challenges in detecting continuous waves (CW) emitted by rotating neutron stars and the stochastic gravitational wave background. Discover various sources of gravitational waves and the methods used to detect them, with a primary focus on data analysis techniques. Gain insights into the 'Atlas' data analysis facility and its role in advancing gravitational wave research. This Wednesday colloquium, presented at the Centrum Fizyki Teoretycznej PAN on 2023-03-08, offers a comprehensive overview of current gravitational wave detection efforts and the analytical approaches employed in this cutting-edge field of physics.
