Abstract
摘要 |
In the next few years, ground-based interferometers such as advanced LIGO and Virgo are likely to provide the first direct detections of gravitational waves, opening a window on the universe quite different from electromagnetic and particle observations. Binary systems composed of neutron stars and/or black holes are among the most promising sources for these detectors. In this talk I will review the current effort at developing accurate models of gravitational waveforms, so that we can take full advantage of the detector sensitivity when searching for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries and measuring their parameters. |
