Description
This workshop on gravitational-wave astronomy is jointly organized by the ICTS and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute, AEI), Hannover to mark the inauguration of the Max Planck Partner Group in Astrophysical Relativity and Gravitational-Wave Astronomy at ICTS. This workshop focusses on issues related to the search for gravitational waves from coalescing compact binaries and spinning neutron stars. A special session on Thursday, November 5 will focus on initiating collaborations between gravitational-wave astronomers and the core science team of the Indian multi-wavelength astronomy satellite project Astrosat in problems related to the search for gravitational-waves from accreting neutron stars.
