Conferència "Gravitational-wave Astronomy: A new era"

 

Abstract: 

Direct measurement of the gravitational waves predicted by Einstein’s General Relativity has opened a new branch of the astronomical science: gravitational-wave astronomy. This new window into the Universe will allow us to observe and discover multiple, yet unknown, aspects of the sky, uncover strange couples —of black holes, pulsars, mixed,…— and investigate the nature of the Universe “dark” components. We are entering upon a new era, an unpredictable revolution in which heavens will show themselves filled with "gravitationally bright” objects and probably modifying our entire world view.
