On September 14th 2015 a gravitational-wave, emitted by the coalescence of a pair of black-holes, was detected directly for the first time by LIGO. The aim of this course is to present the different aspects of this discovery. Based on recent publications by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration, we aim to provide answers to the following questions: what exactly was observed? what is the source? how we are sure that the source is of astrophysical origin? how does the LIGO detector work? what are the implications of this discovery for general relativity and astrophysics? what are the future prospects for this field?

Different aspects of the LIGO-Virgo gravitational-wave direct detections

  • Abstract:

The aim of this course is to present the different aspects of the first gravitational-waves detection by LIGO and Virgo. Mainly based on the publications by the LIGO-Virgo Collaboration, we aim to provide answers to the following questions: what exactly was observed? what are the sources? how the LIGO-Virgo data are analysed? how does the LIGO-Virgo detectors work? what are the implications of these discovery for general relativity and astrophysics? what are the future prospects for this field?
