Abstract |
The first generation of large-scale gravitational-wave interferometers – LIGO (USA), Virgo and GEO600 (Europe) -- has completed their first searches for gravitational waves and gone offline. Alas, gravitational waves remain elusive, however there is good reason for optimism that detections will come with the next generation of instruments currently being built -- Advanced LIGO (USA), Advanced Virgo and GEO600 (Europe), and KAGRA (Japan). In this talk, I’ll review the latest scientific results from searches for gravitational waves -- from compact binary mergers and GRBs, from galactic pulsars, and from the primordial universe. I’ll also present the status of the coming global network of gravitational-wave network with an emphasis on Advanced LIGO. |
