The detection of gravitational waves from binary black hole and binary neutron star mergers is opening new avenues for astrophysics and cosmology. I will talk about three different applications of gravitational waves in this regard. First, I will …
The Advanced LIGO and Advanced Virgo detectors have detected ten binary-black hole (BBH) mergers in the first two observing runs, with many new candidate events in the ongoing third observing run. In addition to these events there exists a background …
