Gravitational Wave Astrophysics has already demonstrated its potential to explore the Universe, but we are still at the beginning of this journey. While we regularly observe gravitational waves from compact binaries, we do not know what we may discover next. In my talk, I will give an overview of the field of Gravitational Wave Astrophysics by discussing the gravitational-wave detectors...
Detection of quasi-monochromatic, long-duration (continuous) gravitational wave radiation emitted by, e.g., asymmetric rotating neutron stars, planetary or asteroid mass - primordial BH (PBH) binaries during their in-spiral phase in our Galaxy requires a long observation time to distinguish it from the detector’s noise. If this signal is additionally microlensed by a lensing object located in...
Gravitational wave detectors offer promising probes to search for dark matter, both directly and indirectly. If dark matter originates from a background of ultralight gauge bosons, these bosons could exert forces on the test masses of gravitational wave detectors, inducing displacements with characteristic frequencies determined by the boson mass. On the indirect side, the Fermi satellite has...
