Talk Title |
Detection and Reconstruction of Gravitational Wave Bursts. |
Abstract |
Discovery of gravitational waves by LIGO opens a new window on Universe. Soon LIGO will be complemented by other gravitational wave instruments to form a world-wide network of detectors. Combined with other astronomical instruments it will enable multi-messenger observations of astrophysical events dramatically expanding our means to study cosmos. Anticipated and possibly entirely new gravitational-wave sources are likely to be discovered we should be ready for unexpected. I will talk about transient (burst) gravitational wave sources with poorly known or uncertain models, describe robust detection methods and discuss astrophysical implications of the source reconstruction. |
