Description
Recent detections of gravitational waves (GWs) have ushered in a new branch of astronomy. During their past observing runs, the LIGO and Virgo detectors have observed over two hundred mergers of compact binaries involving black holes and neutron stars. These discoveries have enabled novel tests of general relativity, offered new probes of cosmology and dense nuclear matter, and posed intriguing questions about the astrophysical formation mechanisms of compact binaries. This talk will present an overview of the key results from GW observations to date and discuss future prospects in this rapidly evolving field.
