Gravitational Wave Physics and Astrophysics with LIGO — NSF Award to California Institute of Technology (CA, $200,000)
Gravitational-wave (GW) physics and astronomy have entered a new era: GW transient events detected with the LIGO and Virgo detectors in their first four observing runs (O1, O2, O3, and O4) are frequent. So far, they are all from compact binary coalescing (CBC) systems containing merging black holes and/or neutron stars

| Abstract | Gravitational-wave (GW) physics and astronomy have entered a new era: GW transient events detected with the LIGO and Virgo detectors in their first four observing runs (O1, O2, O3, and O4) are frequent. So far, they are all from compact binary coalescing (CBC) systems containing merging black holes and/or neutron stars. The fourth observing run (O4) is planned to continue through November 2025. This is resulting in increased rates of discovery of GWs from compact binary mergers, including the po |
