Regular plenary talk Gravitational Waves Gravitational Waves

Speaker

Michał Bejger (CAMK)

Description

The talk will summarise main observational results obtained by the current network of gravitational wave detectors, including the ongoing O4 run which started May 2023. First part of O4 - O4a - ended January 2024, providing 81 new high-confidence gravitational wave candidates. I will also discuss challenges and outlook related to searches for transient signals emitted by tight binaries composed of compact objects, other transient signals, as well as long-duration (persistent) signals, and their diverse astrophysics.
