      16 February: LISA Pathfinder - the first step toward a space-based gravitational wave detector - launched into orbit last December from Kourou, French Guiana, but its origin goes back a century. In 1916, following his revolutionary general relativity theory, Albert Einstein predicted that extreme objects could create gravitational waves.

      Such propagating curvature-ripples are called gravitational waves, and their existence is one of the most important, yet untested, predictions of GR. In our universe, GW are produced by unique astronomical events, such as mergers of pairs of black holes or neutron stars, and supernovae explosions.

      Detectable events could originate from a variety of catastrophic events in the distant universe, such as the gravitational collapse of stars or the coalescence of compact binary systems. In these two lectures, I discuss both the astrophysical sources of gravitational waves and the detection technique and challenges using suspended mass ...

      In Fig. 3, it shows schematic components in the central location and offline system. Trigger files generated at each site will be transferred to this central location, and these three sites’ triggers will be analyzed coherently to search events in which gravitational wave may exist. Fig. 4 shows event searching in general.

      Earlier this year, researchers working on the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (aLIGO) made the first ever detection of gravitational waves. The waves are believed to have been created by the merger of two binary black holes, in an event dubbed GW150914.

      Detecting Gravitational Wave Events - Data Analysis . The research group led by Prof. Linqing Wen aims at solving the most critical issues that the entire gravitational wave community is facing, that is, how to best detect a gravitational-wave event and identify its electromagnetic counterpart in a timely manner.
