SUMMARY:Gravitational Waves as Probes of Astrophysics, Gravity and Fundamen
 tal Physics
DESCRIPTION:In 2015, the first gravitational wave passing through the Earth
  produced by the collision of two black holes was observed. Such an event w
 as a milestone for astrophysics and confirmed the general theory of relativ
 ity. Since then, about one hundred gravitational waves have been observed b
 y the LIGO and Virgo experiments, including signals from binary neutron sta
 rs and neutron-star—black-hole binaries. These observations rely on precise
  theoretical predictions of the two-body dynamics and gravitational radiati
 on.\n\nThe lecture provides an overview of the synergetic approach that suc
 cessfully combines analytical and numerical relativity to produce highly ac
 curate waveform models and discusses the results of these observations in r
 elation to astrophysics, gravitation, and fundamental physics.\n\nAlessandr
 a Buonanno ML is director at the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Phy
 sics, Potsdam, and a leading theorist in the field of gravitational wave ph
 ysics. She is known for her work on waveform modeling, which is crucial for
  the discovery of gravitational waves from binary systems of black holes an
 d neutron stars.\n\nML = Member of the Leopoldina\n\nFurther Information an
