Title: GW astrophysics: from LIGO to PTA
Rationale:
Gravitational Wave (GW) astrophysics is a broad topic covering a wide spectrum of GW
frequencies (from kHz to nanoHz), diverse detection strategies (from ground based,
spaceborne detectors to Pulsar Timing Arrays), and various theoretical/computational tools
for waveform generation (from perturbation methods to Numerical Relativity). Since the
first GW detection of a binary black-hole merger event, a unique widow to the nature has
been opened: the fundamental laws of gravity, the astrophysical mechanisms and environments
of compact binary formation, and the physical processes that cannot be probed in other ways.
In combination with traditional EM observations, multi-messenger astronomy has shown
its power in solving long-standing astrophysical problems and is expected to play a growing role in the future. In this mini-symposium, we expect to bring experts and junior researchers
together to discuss all these exciting problems.
Topics:
1. Compact binary formation (all binaries that are detection targets in different frequency bands )
2. Waveform modeling (waveform of compact binaries of various mass ratios)
3. Multi-messenger astrophysics (GW+EM/neutrinos/cosmic rays)
4. GW detection as a unique probe (to fundamental laws of physics and to long-standing problems in cosmology/astrophysics)
5. Future GW detectors (beyond LVK/LISA/PTA)
