Title: The Gravitational-Wave Picture of Merging Compact Binaries in the Universe
Speaker: Peter Shawhan, Department of Physics, University of Maryland
Abstract: The LIGO and Virgo gravitational-wave detectors have by now detected hundreds of signals from merging compact binaries. Â The great majority of the merging objects are black holes, revealing a population of stellar remnants with emerging features. Â I will summarize the main findings from detected signals through the fourth observing run (O4) of the Advanced LIGO, Virgo and KAGRA detectors.
