Presentation Work Group:Gravitational Waves
Abstract:The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) detectors have reached their design sensitivity, and searches for gravitational waves are ongoing. We discuss current attempts to detect gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars, compact binaries, supernovae (and other complicated burst sources), and the early universe. We also comment on future prospects for these searches.
